Roman Lavrynovych, 22, and Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, were found guilty at the Old Bailey on Monday of plotting to damage property linked to Sir Keir Starmer. Over the space of five days in May last year, police were called to a fire at a house in north London linked to Starmer, another at a nearby property owned by Starmer and rented out to his sister-in-law, as well as a blaze involving a Toyota that once belonged to him. The prosecution told the court that Lavrynovych carried out the arson attacks after being recruited online by Russian-speaking Telegram user "El Money" who promised him payment. Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian national, was convicted of one count of committing arson with intent to endanger life and of committing arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered in connection with one of the house fires. He was acquitted on charges relating to another property. Lavrynovych and Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, a Ukrainian-born Romanian national, were both convicted of conspiracy to commit arson.
