A UK court convicts two men over arson attacks targeting a home and a car linked to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with the attacks occurring over multiple nights in May 2025. Multiple outlets report that prosecutors say the men were recruited and directed by a Russian-speaking figure using the name “El Money,” who communicated with them through the Telegram messaging app. Court accounts described offers of money to carry out the attacks, along with requests to record or take video that could be used to draw attention to the incidents. One outlet also reports that the Russian-speaking handler is not in custody and escaped before facing capture. Another outlet characterizes the handler as remaining unidentified. Several sources agree the two convicted men carried out the attacks after being recruited via instructions from the Telegram account. The case centers on the alleged orchestration of the arson plot by the Russian-speaking “El Money,” while the identity and status of that figure remain unclear. Sentencing details are reported by at least one outlet, with prison terms imposed after conviction.
