LONDON (Reuters) -The ringleader of an arson attack on Ukraine-linked businesses in London last year discussed kidnapping the co-founder of finance app Revolut and torching a warehouse in the Czech Republic with his Russian handler, a British court heard on Thursday.
Dylan Earl, 21, who admitted aggravated arson over the 2024 blaze which targeted companies delivering satellite equipment from Elon Musk's Starlink to Ukraine, had also sought to pay a serving British soldier for intelligence, prosecutors said.
