Why small -time criminals burnt a London ware

Prior to the midnight of 20 March last year, two short -term criminals from South London set a warehouse with a significant communication tools in luck for Ukraine.

He did not do so for ideological reasons. Instead, they did it for cash. The pair was arson for rent – referred to as “Road Men” in court – Wagner was working indirectly for the group, which is a mercury group controlled by the Russian state.

The connection of fire-sectors for wagner was through a small-time drug dealer of Lecessesterreshire, called the dyelon earl.

Five people, including the Earl, have now been convicted on their involvement in the arson attack, causing £ 1M damage.

Earl safe messaging app Telegram was in contact with the first-Russian accounts a month.

With an account, in which the user name was Minsk KGB, he discussed whether they should go to Russia in Ukraine and fight, saying: “I need a new beginning. I need to speak Russians? Because it is not best. [literally] Know 30 words if that. ,

But March 16 – Four days before the attack – they were being assigned by the Telegram account associated with the Wagner Group to do some work in Britain.

It used the name of Prewet Bot in Russian – meaning “Hello Bot” – a notorious Telegram account that has encouraged the sabotage attacks and murder in other parts of Europe.

The account wrote to the Earl: “We have our first task for you. The map shows that there are some buildings on this address. And there are warehouses between them.

“They sponsor Ukrainian terrorists and provide assistance. Today we wait for the owners of photos and videos and warehouses of the warehouse and building.”

Some messages exchanged by the group were written in small or non-traditional ways, something that is usually used to prevent social media filters from tracking the content.

Earl contacted another man, Jake Reavs, a cleaner at the Gatvic Airport, established to keep criminals in contact with each other through a telegram group.

At the request of the Earl, Reaves from Croidon in South London captured him, a local acquaintance of NII Mensa, who was clearly ready to commit crime for cash.

Mensa had never met the Earl, but he soon messaged him and said: “I am down to da coje Bro. 3 PPL and Car.”

On the night of 20 March, four people left South London at a red Kia Picanto.

Sixty -year -old Paul was on the English wheel. In court, he refused to know what was going to happen at night and was not found guilty of arson.

Nineteen -year -old Eugen’s Asmina was sitting near him on the passenger seat, while Mensa and his friend Jekam Rose, both were sitting behind at the age of 21 at the time.

Four people departed in North London to Tems and North in Leton, where they moved towards Cromwell Industrial Estate. He parked behind warehouses.

Mensa and exit out daily, collected a jerry can from the boot, climbed a wall and led to another two units. The warehouses were used by two businesses involved in sending parcels and equipment to Ukraine to burn the Wagner group.

Both are owned by a British-Ukrainian businessman Mikhail Boykov.

It was not a sophisticated attack.

With streaming for the Earl on the entire event with Mensa, Rose put petrol in front of the warehouses, burnt a rip, and installed buildings.

Four people fled in Picto. But before Rose accidentally left a big zombie-style knife with his DNA.

In a lorry standing next to the warehouse, Yeven Harsim was trying to sleep.

“I heard the cracking noise of the warehouse door metal roll and realized that something was happening. I opened the door and saw the fire,” he said while giving evidence in the court.

“I caught the fire extinguishing from behind the lorry.

“I was able to extinguish the fire outside the door, but the flames inside the warehouse kept burning.”

Eventually he had to retreat and take his lorry into security, causing a blast in the fire brigade.

By the time the fire was more than 100,000 pounds, items of more than 100,000 pounds, including communication equipment for Starlink satellites, were destroyed, which has proved to be important in the front row in the war in Ukraine.

Earl was happy, an online contact message was given: “It was that the warehouse was tingered. It was one behind all the gates. Bro 8 feet gates around the entire tinge.”

But his Wagner Group Handlers Prevate Bot was less happy, saying on Telegram: “You ran away burning these warehouses without my acceptance. Now it would be impossible to pay for this arson.

“We could have burn warehouses much better and more if we coordinated our actions. It was necessary to set fire to various places around the circumference at a time and it would be big.”

Encouraging the Earl to be more patience, Preivat Bot asked him to watch the TV detective series The Americans, which tells the story of KGB agents who operate patiently deep undercover in the US in the 1980s.

But under the front chain, everyone was hired by the Earl, was angry at not paying. Eventually, eager for more cash, he packed things. Within two days, the private bot had another job for the Earl, and to hire their people.

“Two places burning in the west,” Earl wrote a contact, which used ‘Kash Money’. still. Liquor shop. restaurant.”

“How much was it?” I wish Money asked.

“£ 5,000. Perhaps 6”, Earl replied. “If they nap [kidnap] Man 15. “

In a parallel discussion, he wrote to Reavs: “Correspondence London: £ 1,000.00 East Warehouse. £ 5,000.00 West Wine Shop. £ 5,000.00 West Restaurant. Total – £ 11,000.00.”

In his telegram chat with Earl, Reaves was still wondering why Wagner had burnt the warehouse. Earl wrote: “It is a mail provider from the UK to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. A Ukrainian man escaped by a person who sends 100+ lorry to Ukraine.”

The conspiracy of the liquor shop and the restaurant targeted the exile Russian businessman Evageni Chichwarkin.

He made hundreds of crores of pounds by making Russia’s biggest mobile phone retailer, avoset. But he was out with difficult men in the Russian government and was forced to sell his business in 2008.

He now runs a prize-winning wine shop in Mefare, London, called a headonism wine, as well as a Michelin-carved restaurant, called a hide.

Since the Russian invasion in Ukraine, he personally operated several lauries of medical aid in Ukraine. Reeves wrote on Telegram that Wagner wanted contact that Mr. Chichwarkin kidnapped “to send back to Russia for imprisonment”.

Earl persuaded a person who was not charged with any crime – to operate some reconnaissance of the liquor shop.

The shop and restaurant were never really attacked, as the counter terrorism police had disrupted the conspiracy, nor was Sri Chichwarkin kidnapped.

Talking to the BBC, Mr. Chichwarkin said that even after the unsuccessful conspiracy he has tried not to think about that threat.

The wagon group strategy is to target those who were helping Ukraine along with sowing widespread chaos in Britain.

At one point, Private Bot asked Earl: “Do you have a friend among goons or acquaintances in Ira?

“We need those who are in Europe and Britain. We need those who are our kind spirit.

“You need to organize biased cells in the country and Europe. And think about a name for your movement. We will support you.”

As the plan developed, the Earl started pulling others into the proposed kidnapping and attacked the Mefare Wine shop, including their drug-deal contacts. Ashton “Ace” Evans South Wales had a short -time dealer to exit Pontivun near Newoport, and one of the people of the Earl.

“This is to be a clean brother. Full facade, no [balaclavas]I can provide if needed. gloves. No number plates, “Earl wrote.” Buckingham is 10–15 minutes away from Palace. ,

“YHHHHHHH is going to bring a lot of attention”, Evans wrote back. “Mi5 etc.”

“This owner is a billionaire from Russia,” Earl explained.

“Need to exploit it ** [explosives] Can it just be a fire? Evans asked.

Earl replied: “Fire is possible, but if it does not burn completely, they will not pay me more than 25%.”

Evans was found guilty of failing to tell the police about the Mefare Plot.

By 9 April, the relationship between the Earl and their contact with their wagner group showed signs of cooling. The Earl was worried and sent a stream of messages to Prevate Bot.

“I know I can be the best detective you have ever seen, but we need more communication and fast work with contracts,” he wrote.

“I am a very good leader, coordinator and organizer,” he claimed. “I am giving you … Steering in my country, people, business, government, even in Europe.”

Eventually the Private Bot wrote back that he urges to be patient.

“You remind me of yourself at your age and there are things you should learn. You are our dagger in Europe and we will faster you so that you will intensify.”

On April 10, the Earl was arrested by anti-terrorism detectives in a branch of a branch of B&A in Hinkle.

Earl blamed a crime, a foreign power (Russia) for preparing the acts of serious violence under the new National Security Act. He blamed the cocaine near the cocaine with the intention of arson, and to keep £ 20,070, who was the income of crime.

Reeves blamed a foreign intelligence service – Wagoner Group – to agree to accept money under the new National Security Act. He also blamed for increasing the arson.

During the trial, in the old Bailey of London, Mrs. Justice Cheema-Grab said that generations must have told them before them what the pair had done as “treason”.

NII Mensa, Jackum Rose, Eugeneus Asmina was found guilty of stimulating arson. Rose had first convicted for the capture of the knife.

Paul English, a 61 -year -old driver, was removed from all wrongdoings.

20 -year -old Ashton Evans was found guilty of failing to disclose information about the terrorist acts related to the Mefare Plot, but was approved to fail to tell the authorities about the warehouse arson.

Another 23 -year -old, Damirjas Paulusus, was cleaned with two equal crimes related to both terrorist plots after a jury for about 22 hours.

Dominic Murphy, the head of the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command, said that the state’s hazards had changed after the salicebury nerve agent attack in 2018, especially from Russia, in 2018.

“We have made the UK a hostile operating environment,” he said. “As a result, they are diverse and are now contacting relatively youngsters so that they can act on their behalf as proxy in their activity.”
