- Description
- A Russian-speaking mastermind behind a series of arson attacks aimed to strike “fear” for the Prime Minister and cause “unrest” across the country, a counter-terrorism chief has said.
The anonymous Telegram entity known as El Money tasked “criminal proxies” to set fire to a car and two houses connected to Sir Keir Starmer last May.
Ukrainians Roman Lavrynovych, 22, and Romanian Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, were found guilty of plotting to damage property after a jury deliberated for seven-and-a-half hours. Co-defendant Petro Pochynok, 35, was cleared of the same charge.
In an interview with the Press Association, Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) London, said police had acted as soon as the serious threat was identified.
