A British court convicts two men over a plot involving arson attacks on properties linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. According to the court, the men were approached through Telegram by a Russian-speaking figure using the name “El Money.” The court hears that the figure offered payment to one of the men to carry out the attacks and to record video of the actions. The materials were intended to be posted online to draw attention to the attack, as described in the reporting from both outlets.
While the sources focus on the court’s account of the recruitment and instructions, both also describe the same core elements: the use of Telegram, the involvement of a Russian-speaking person identified by the alias “El Money,” and the plan to carry out torching attacks on properties connected to Starmer. The reporting does not provide additional details about the sentence, the specific properties targeted, or the broader investigation beyond the conviction and the alleged role of “El Money.”
