Prosecutors say a British man accused of plotting to torch a London business with links to Ukraine has been charged with conducting hostile activity to benefit Russia
A British man accused of plotting to torch a London business connected to Ukraine has been charged with conducting hostile activity to benefit Russia, prosecutors said Friday. Dylan Earl, 20, is connected to Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, which the U.K. government has declared a banned terrorist organization, prosecutors said.
“Included in the alleged activity was involvement in the planning of an arson attack on a Ukrainian-linked commercial property in March,” said Nick Price, head of the Crown Prosecution Service Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division. He allegedly planned and paid others to burn down two industrial properties in east London on March 20. He is the first person to be charged under the National Security Act 2023. Four other men face charges connected to the case.
