The two suspects behind the conspiracy to carry out arson attacks on property and a car linked to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer have been handed prison sentences after being found guilty of the respective charges.

On one end is Roman Lavrynovych, 22, who was given a seven-year jail term for plotting to cause damage to property and for damaging two properties by fire. The other, Stanislav Carpiuc, received a two-year jail term for his involvement, deemed to be a supporting role after acting as a middleman in the attacks.
