A Ukrainian man, Roman Lavrynovych, 22, and a Romanian man, Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, are convicted at the Old Bailey of conspiring to carry out arson attacks involving property and a car connected to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The cases are described as relating to attacks on targets linked to Starmer. Prosecutors said the men acted on instructions from a Russian-speaking individual referred to as “El Money.”

The Guardian adds that another defendant, a Ukrainian man, Petro Pochynok, 35, is cleared of the same charge. The reporting focuses on the outcome of the trial and the identities and roles of the defendants, alongside the alleged direction of the plot by the named Russian-speaking contact. No additional details on sentencing are included in the provided summaries.
