Two men plead not guilty after fires at properties linked to Prime Minister

A third man was also charged with conspiracy to damage a property by fire.

Stanislav Carpiuc, 26, a Ukrainian-born Romanian national, will enter his plea at a later date.

The case is related to three fires that happened in May, and had links to Sir Keir Starmer.

On 8th May firefighters discovered a car previously owned by the Prime Minister alight on the street he used to live on, in Kentish Town, North London.

Three days later, the London Fire Brigade was called to a fire at flats linked to the Sir Keir Starmer, in nearby Islington.

On 12th May, firefighters were called to a fire at the entrance to the Prime Minister’s private home in Kentish Town.

The three men will next appear in front of a high court judge at the Old Bailey on 28th November.
