Government officials are investigating possible Russian links to the arson attacks at properties linked to Sir Keir Starmer, it has been claimed.
Two properties and a car were all set alight earlier this month, with police charging three men over the attacks.
Petro Pochynok, 34, is accused of conspiring to damage by fire the PM’s former Toyota Rav4, a property where he once lived and his family’s former house with intent to endanger life.
Models Roman Lavrynovych, 21, and Stanislav Carpiuc, 26, are also charged with plotting arsons between April 17 and May 13. While Pochynok and Lavrynovych are Ukrainian citizens, Carpiuc is Romanian.
And now officials are probing whether the men, who were all born in Ukraine, were recruited by the Kremlin, a Whitehall source told the Financial Times.
