Two men convicted of arson plot targeting UK prime minister's properties

A London court convicted two men on Monday of plotting a series of arson attacks on properties linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, orchestrated by a mysterious Russian-speaking figure who remains unidentified and uncharged.

Roman Lavrynovych, 22, a Ukrainian national, and Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, a Romanian citizen, were found guilty at the Old Bailey of conspiring to damage property by fire. Lavrynovych was additionally convicted on two counts of arson reckless of danger to life. A third defendant, Petro Pochynok, 35, was acquitted. The men are due to be sentenced Friday.
