Man jailed for Starmer-linked arson attacks is deported
Romanian national Stanislav Carpiuc was sentenced in June over arson attacks targeting the former prime minister's car and property.
Stanislav Carpiuc, a 28-year-old Ukrainian-born Romanian national, has been deported from the UK after being convicted and sentenced to two years in prison for plotting arson attacks on properties linked to Sir Keir Starmer, according to the Home Office. Carpiuc, along with Roman Lavrynovych, a 22-year-old Ukrainian national, was found guilty of conspiring to damage property by fire between April and May 2025.
The attacks occurred on May 8, 9, and 11 of that year, targeting a car, two houses, and Sir Keir's former residence. Prosecutors claim the attacks were ordered by Russia, with an anonymous handler known as "EL" promising payment to Carpiuc's accomplice. The Home Office spokesperson emphasized the severity of the crime, stating that the convictions and imprisonment of these men would send a clear message to anyone tempted by promises of money from strangers.
