June 15 (UPI) -- A British jury on Monday found two men guilty of conspiring to commit arson on property linked to Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Roman Lavrynovych, 22, a Ukrainian national, and Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, a Ukrainian-born Romanian national were convicted on charges of committing arson while being reckless of human life, The New York Times reported.
A third man suspected in the case, Petro Pochynok, 35, was acquitted of the charges.
Lavrynovych said he was recruited online by someone on Telegram with the username "El Money." He said the Russian-speaking person offered him money to carry out the acts of arson, the BBC reported.
