Dylan Earl, 20, also admitted a charge under the National Security Act, the new set of spying laws introduced last year.
A British man has admitted an arson attack on a Ukrainian-linked business in London alleged to have been carried out on behalf of the Russian Wagner group. Dylan Earl, 20, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to aggravated arson over the blaze at an industrial unit in Leyton, east London, on 20 March, which needed 60 firefighters to bring it under control.
It states that he committed acts endangering the life of a person or acts creating a serious risk to the health and safety of the public in the UK between 1 February and 18 April. He denied a further charge of assisting a foreign intelligence service under the same legislation. Prosecutors said they would not pursue a trial on the charge but will ask for the allegations to be taken into account when Earl is sentenced.
