A Ukrainian man, Roman Lavrynovych, was brought before a London court on charges of arson, stemming from a counter-terrorism investigation focused on fires connected to Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The 21-year-old appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court facing three counts of arson intended to endanger life, communicating through an interpreter to confirm his identity. Lavrynovych remains in custody pending his next court date on June 6 at the Old Bailey.
The series of incidents that led to these charges began with a fire at a property in Kentish Town, north London, early Monday, followed by a fire in Islington and a vehicle fire, all tied to Starmer. Prosecutors emphasize that these attacks represent a significant threat to democracy and the values upheld by the community.
