This is the moment an arsonist from the Wagner Group has been arrested in a B&Q car park.
An arson attack on industrial units in Leyton, east London, in March 2024 caused almost £1 million of damage, put lives at risk and took 60 firefighters to extinguish the blaze.
The warehouse was targeted by the terrorist Wagner Group because it was being used to supply humanitarian aid and Starlink satellite equipment to Ukraine.
Subsequently, architect Dylan Earl turns his attention to more “missions”, targeting a restaurant and liquor store in Mayfair and the kidnapping of the owner, wealthy Russian dissident Evgeny Chichvarkin.
The court heard that Earl was a member of several pro-Russian propaganda channels and was motivated by “simple and ugly greed”.
On Friday (24 October), Earl and five other young men were sentenced at the Old Bailey for what the judge described as “a planned campaign of terrorism and subversion” in the interests of the Russian state.
