A True crime Podcast
In May 2025, a series of targeted arson attacks hit properties and a car linked to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Behind the flames? Two young men recruited online by a mysterious Russian-speaking handler promising quick cash. Ukrainian national Roman Lavrynovych (22) and Romanian national Stanislav Carpiuc (27) were convicted at the Old Bailey of conspiring to commit arson. Lavrynovych, who carried out the attacks, received seven years; Carpiuc got two. Prosecutors linked the plot to a Russian sabotage network operating through Telegram. In this gripping episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson explores the chilling details: the fires, the online handler “El Money,” the evidence that sealed their fate, and what this case reveals about hybrid warfare and political violence in the UK. A story of greed, manipulation, and attacks that reached the heart of British power. 🎧 New true crime episodes weekly.
