Two foreign nationals have been found guilty of plotting to damage property linked to the Sir Keir Starmer in an arson attack last year.
Ukrainian Roman Lavrynovych, 22, and Romanian Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, were found guilty at the Old Bailey this afternoon, after denying targeting two properties and a car linked to the Prime Minister in May 2025.
The men, who live in London, were charged with conspiring together and "with others" to damage property by fire between April 1 and May 13 last year.
A Toyota previously owned by Sir Keir was set alight on May 8 in a street where he once lived, with Lavrynonych admitting to starting the fire.
During the trial, Carpiuc told the Old Bailey that his friend Lavrynovych carried out the first alleged arson attack for "money' - and that he had tried to persuade him not to do it.
