"Three fires in the same area within five days would be pretty unusual. However, three fires all involving property linked to the same person were beyond a coincidence."
"Lavrynovych faces three counts of arson with intent to endanger life or being reckless as to whether life would be endangered. Pochynok and Carpiuc are also accused of conspiracy to commit arson."
"On 8 May, a Toyota RAV4, once owned by Starmer before he sold it to a neighbour, was set ablaze. Another fire took place on 11 May at the front door of a property in Islington."
"Jurors were told it was no part of your considerations to decide who El Money was and what reason he might have had to coordinate the defendants' actions."
Three men, Roman Lavrynovych, Petro Pochynok, and Stanislav Carpiuc, are accused of orchestrating arson attacks on properties associated with Keir Starmer. The attacks occurred over five days in May, targeting a house, a former residence, and a car linked to Starmer. Prosecutors claim the men were offered payment by a contact named El Money to carry out these acts. The defendants deny the charges, and the jury is instructed not to consider the identity or motivations of El Money or the defendants.
