A British prosecutor told a court on Wednesday that three men were offered payment by a Russian-speaking contact online to set fire last year to two houses and a car linked to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson told the court that the men — Ukrainian nationals Roman Lavrynovych, 22, and Petro Pochynok, 35; and Stanislav Carpiuc, a 27-year-old Romanian citizen — were involved in setting the blazes in London between May 8 and 12.
