A court in the United Kingdom sentenced two men to prison on Friday after they were found guilty of carrying out a coordinated arson campaign targeting property belonging to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Roman Lavrynovych, a 22-year-old Ukrainian national, received a seven-year prison sentence, while Stanislav Carpiuc, a 27-year-old Romanian citizen, was sentenced to two years behind bars. Both were convicted of conspiracy to damage property through fire.
According to prosecutors, the two men targeted a vehicle and two separate properties connected to Starmer across three consecutive nights in May 2025. They allegedly carried out the attacks under the direction of a Russian-speaking individual who used the alias “El Money.” That person communicated with Lavrynovych through the messaging platform Telegram. The true identity of “El Money” was never uncovered, and no charges were filed against them.
