UMVA has learned that a shadowy Telegram figure known only as “El Money” orchestrated a chilling series of arson attacks on properties tied to the nation’s leader.
In the dead of night, a Toyota Rav4 once owned by the Prime Minister erupted in flames on a quiet Kentish Town street, while two homes in north London—one still owned by the leader’s sister‑in‑law—were set ablaze, leaving families trembling in their beds.
Jurors at the Old Bailey heard how a 22‑year‑old Ukrainian, Roman Lavrynovych, and a 27‑year‑old Romanian, Stanislav Carpiuc, filmed the infernos on a camera phone, then sent the terrifying footage to their unseen benefactor in exchange for cryptocurrency.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the duo received a promise of £3,000 in digital cash for each blaze, a payment that fueled their reckless spree and forced them to record every flicker of fire.
Police swooped in within a week, arresting Lavrynovych and Carpiuc before Carpiuc could board a flight to Romania, while a third conspirator, Petro Pochynok, was cleared after claiming he believed he was merely helping a friend with heavy suitcases.
The courtroom replayed a haunting video: a lit match hurled onto accelerant on a doorstep, the orange flare captured in chilling detail. Lavrynovych confessed to igniting the flames but insisted he acted under threats from the mysterious “El Money.”
Investigators say “El Money” has a history of hiring cheap violence, previously paying for racist graffiti on a community centre and anti‑Muslim flyers, but shows no direct ties to any political agenda.
Commander Helen Flanagan, leading London’s counter‑terrorism unit, stressed that while the attacks aimed to sow fear and disruption, there is no evidence of a broader ideological plot or direct targeting of the Prime Minister’s life.
As the jury deliberated for seven and a half hours, the verdict confirmed Lavrynovych and Carpiuc guilty of arson, sending a stark warning that digital contracts can ignite real‑world terror.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the case underscores a dangerous new frontier where anonymous online financiers weaponize ordinary criminals, turning ordinary nights into infernos of terror.
