Two men are found guilty of arson attacks targeting properties and a car linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Bloomberg reports the men were convicted of setting fire to a vehicle and two properties connected to Starmer in a series of attacks carried out last year. The New York Times says the prosecution linked one of the men to recruitment via a Russian-language Telegram account, where he was allegedly brought into the plan. Several outlets describe the plot as involving direction from a handler with alleged ties to Russia, including reporting that the arsonists acted on orders from an online figure. BBC coverage and other summaries circulating through Google News also report that Russia was behind the attacks, citing additional reporting by the BBC. The Mirror and other UK tabloids name two individuals and describe an alleged “Russian handler” who directed the attacks. Additional summaries indicate authorities and media also discuss Telegram activity and scrutiny of online recruitment. Sentencing outcomes are reported by multiple outlets, with at least two men jailed for the offences. All accounts agree on the core finding: the men are convicted for arson involving Starmer-linked property and a related vehicle, following a purported online recruitment and direction element.
