00:01A Home Office spokesperson said this was an abhorrent attack and the conviction and imprisonment of these men should send
00:09a clear message to anyone blinded by the promise of money from strangers.
00:14Stanislav Karpuc was one of the two men found guilty of plotting to damage two houses linked to the former
00:22Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on the orders of a shadowy Russian-speaking taskmaster.
00:28The Romanian national was sentenced to two years in prison in May, this year while his friend Roman Lavrinovich, a
00:37Ukrainian, was jailed for seven years.
00:40Karpuc has now been removed from the UK, the Home Office said on Friday, as first repulsed by the Daily
00:48Mail newspaper.
00:50Two houses and a car linked to Sir Keir were sessilites in North London in May last year.
00:57Lavrinovich, who carried out the arson attack, was acting on the instructions of an anonymous Telegram user called L-Money.
01:05The anonymous figure was reportedly linked to a Russian online sabotage network.
01:10The court also heard how L-Money offered Lavrinovich £3,000 in cryptocurrency if the blazes were filmed and got
01:18on the news.
01:19Anyone who is deported from the UK is subject to a ban on re-entering the country.
