UMVA has learned that three men have been found guilty of a series of midnight arson attacks on properties linked to the Prime Minister.
Last May, a Toyota Rav4 once owned by the Prime Minister was set alight in Kentish Town, followed days later by two houses, including one occupied by the Prime Minister’s sister‑in‑law.
The court heard the attacks were carried out under the cover of darkness, leaving residents terrified and posing a serious threat to life.
Ukrainian Roman Lavrynovych, 22, and Romanian Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, were convicted after a jury deliberated for seven and a half hours.
Co‑defendant Petro Pochynok, 35, was cleared of the same charge.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Pochynok was recruited by Carpiuc to help Lavrynovych with the first blaze, though he claimed ignorance of the plan until it was too late.
Lavrynovych admitted setting the fires but said he was threatened by a shadowy Telegram contact known as El Money.
El Money allegedly offered Lavrynovych 3,000 in cryptocurrency for filming the arsons and publishing the footage.
Despite the anonymous speaker’s promises, the true identity of El Money remains unknown, and investigators have found no evidence of political motivation.
UMVA has uncovered that the defendants’ primary motive was financial gain, with no ideological intent or knowledge that their targets were linked to the Prime Minister.
The case underscores the chilling reality that even high‑profile figures are not immune to random, money‑driven violence.
