A London court has found two men guilty of their roles in several arson attacks targeting a vehicle and properties connected to Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

倫敦一家法院裁定兩名男子在數起縱火攻擊中扮演關鍵角色，目標是一輛車以及與首相基爾·斯塔默有關的財產。

The trial at the Old Bailey resulted in the conviction of Roman Lavrynovych, a 22-year-old Ukrainian national, and Stanislav Carpiuc, a 27-year-old Romanian citizen. They were found guilty of conspiring to damage property by fire. Lavrynovych was also convicted of damaging two properties while ignoring the risk to human life, whereas a third defendant, Petro Pochynok, was found not guilty. The attacks took place in May 2025 and included the destruction of a Toyota RAV4 once owned by the Prime Minister, as well as fires at a residential building in Islington and a home in Kentish Town occupied by the Prime Minister's sister-in-law.

在舊貝利法院進行的審訊結果是，22 歲的烏克蘭國民 Roman Lavrynovych 與 27 歲的羅馬尼亞公民 Stanislav Carpiuc 被定罪。他們被裁定共謀以火毀壞財產。Lavrynovych 還被定罪在無視對人命有風險的情況下毀壞兩處財產，而第三名被告 Petro Pochynok 則被裁定無罪。攻擊發生於 2025 年 5 月，包括毀壞一輛曾屬於首相的 Toyota RAV4，以及在 Islington 一棟住宅大樓和 Kentish Town 一間由首相嫂子居住的住家放火。

Evidence showed that the attacks were organized by an unknown Russian-speaking person using the name 'El Money' on Telegram. This person recruited Lavrynovych through a job group in London, first asking him to distribute anti-Islamic leaflets to cause social tension before moving to arson. The handler provided instructions on how to make flammable mixtures and demanded videos of the fires to ensure they received media attention. Lavrynovych testified that he participated because he needed money for a parent's medical treatment and felt pressured by threats from the handler.

證據顯示，這些攻擊是由一名在 Telegram 使用名稱「El Money」的未知俄語人士組織。此人透過倫敦的一個求職群組招募了 Lavrynovych，起初要求他分發反伊斯蘭傳單以製造社會緊張，隨後才轉向縱火。指使者提供了如何製作易燃混合物的指示，並要求提供火災影片，以確保能引起媒體關注。Lavrynovych 證稱他參與是因為需要錢為父母支付醫療費用，且感受到指使者威脅帶來的壓力。

Furthermore, the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism unit emphasized that the goal was to intimidate the Prime Minister and create instability in the UK. However, official investigators stated that there was no clear evidence in court to link the attacks to a foreign government. In contrast, reports from the BBC and Financial Times suggested a connection between 'El Money' and a pro-Kremlin group called NoName057(16). While the BBC identified the handler as a Russian diplomat, the Russian embassy denied any involvement, asserting that Russia has no aggressive plans toward the UK.

此外，倫敦都會警察的反恐部門強調，目標在於恐嚇首相並在英國製造不穩定局勢。然而，官方調查員表示，法庭上沒有明確證據將這些攻擊與外國政府聯繫起來。相反，BBC 和《金融時報》的報導暗示「El Money」與一個名為 NoName057(16) 的親克里姆林宮組織有關。儘管 BBC 將指使者認定為一名俄羅斯外交官，但俄羅斯大使館否認任何參與，聲稱俄羅斯對英國沒有任何侵略計劃。

The convicted men remain in custody until they are sentenced, while officials continue to debate who actually organized the attacks.

被定罪的男子在判刑前將繼續被拘留，而官員們仍持續爭論究竟誰才是這次攻擊的組織者。
