Man deported after arson attacks linked to suspected Russian plot against Starmer
Stanislav Carpiuc, 28, has been deported from Britain and barred from returning after being convicted over a series of arson attacks linked to a suspected Russian plot targeting Keir Starmer. The attacks included fires at Starmer’s former car and properties associated with him; the fire at his constituency home left his sister-in-law struggling to breathe and frightened her nine-year-old.
Carpiuc was sentenced to two years for conspiring to damage property by fire. Prosecutors said he encouraged Roman Lavrynovych, 21, and tried to collect payment promised by a Telegram handler known as “El Money”; Lavrynovych carried out the attacks, while a third man was acquitted. The pair were promised up to £3,000, but the handler did not pay. A BBC investigation later linked the account to Evgeny Lyukshin, alleged to be the son of a senior Russian official; the trial did not name the suspected organiser.

Keir Starmer is the UK’s prime minister and represents a constituency in north London. The attacks involved his former car and properties associated with him, including his constituency home; a fire there affected his sister-in-law and her young child.
Prosecutors said Stanislav Carpiuc encouraged Roman Lavrynovych to carry out the fires and sought payment from a Telegram contact using the name “El Money”. A BBC investigation later linked that account to Evgeny Lyukshin, but the trial did not identify a suspected organiser or establish who was behind the alleged plot.
The case matters because it raised questions about whether people in Britain were recruited to carry out arson on behalf of someone abroad. The men were promised money, but prosecutors said they were not paid.
