Two men jailed over Starmer-linked arson attacks
The men were convicted of a firebombing plot that prosecutors said was directed by a Russian-speaking handler.
- On Friday, a British court sentenced Ukrainian national Roman Lavrynovych to 7 years and Romanian citizen Stanislav Carpiuc to 2 years in prison for conspiracy to damage property linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
- The men targeted a car and two properties linked to Starmer over multiple nights in May 2025 on orders from a Russian-speaking figure known as "El Money," according to prosecutors.
- Judge Justice Neil Garnham called Lavrynovych a "useful idiot" manipulated by El Money, while defense lawyer James Scobie argued his client was "low-hanging fruit" used to target the prime minister.

- Cmdr. Dominic Murphy, who led the initial investigation, noted the plot resembles Russian state-backed sabotage, while The Associated Press has tracked at least 192 such attacks across Europe since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
