UK deports Romanian convicted of arson at ex-PM Starmer’s homes
The court found that the men had acted on the orders of a Russian-speaking contact on Telegram
Britain has deported a Romanian man jailed for two years in June for arson attacks on two properties linked to then British prime minister Keir Starmer, the interior ministry said Saturday.
Ukraine-born Stanislav Carpiuc was found guilty of the attacks alongside Ukrainian citizen Roman Lavrynovych, who was jailed for seven years over the May 2025 attacks on two London houses and a vehicle.
“This individual has now been deported from the UK,” a Home Office spokesperson said, without indicating the country to which Carpiuc was being expelled.
“This was an abhorrent attack and the conviction and imprisonment of these men should send a clear message to anyone blinded by the promise of money from strangers. You will be caught and face severe consequences,” the spokesperson added.
