The pair are accused alongside five others of being involved in a major fire at an industrial unit in Leyton, east London.
Two more men have been charged in connection with an allegedly Russian-linked arson attack on a Ukrainian business in London. Jakeem Barrington Rose, 22, of Croydon and Ugnius Asmena, 19, of Wandsworth were due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' on Saturday. Both men are accused of aggravated arson. Rose was further charged with two counts of possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and a private place.
'This investigation remains ongoing, but now that charges have been brought about I would urge everyone to respect the criminal justice process and not to speculate or comment further in relation to this case.' Rose and Asmena's co-defendants face a plea hearing on 4 October with a trial expected to begin at the Old Bailey in June 2025.
