UK Deports Romanian National Convicted of Arson at Properties Linked to Keir Starmer
On Saturday, the interior ministry announced the expulsion of a Romanian man, Stanislav Carpiuc, who was sentenced to two years in prison in June for committing arson against properties linked to then Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Carpiuc, originally from Ukraine, was convicted alongside Roman Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian national who received a seven-year sentence for the May 2025 incidents involving two London homes and a vehicle. A spokesperson from the Home Office confirmed the deportation but did not reveal the destination, stating, "This individual has now been deported from the UK." The spokesperson emphasized that the attacks were reprehensible and warned that those lured by financial incentives would face serious repercussions. The court found that the men acted under the direction of a Russian-speaking contact via Telegram.
