The attack was carried out by the Dylan Earl, 20, and 23 -year -old Jake Reavs, who had already accepted the growing arson from the Wagoner Group – which the UK government has prosecuted as a terrorist group.
Last year, an £ 1M-value was lost due to an attack on the warehouse in East London, last year, the old belly heard.
A fourth person, Paul English, 61, was approved to do wrong.
Mensa and Rose were occupied by CCTV and a livestream video was captured on Messa’s phone as they set the warehouse on fire.
Livestream showed that petrol was being thrown at the doors of the warehouse unit, making them set by the elite.
Shortly before the midnight of 20 March 2024, after breaking it, an eight fire engine made of 60 firefighters was called to the Cromwell Industrial Estate in Leton.
On the night of the attack, the jury heard that a lorry driver was standing with a bravely standing nearby, but unsuccessfully tried to set fire.
The court heard that as soon as he ran away, Rose dropped a big knife, on which his DNA would be found, in which Mesah later asked Reeves to message that “L9 (Rose’s surname) left his Rambo on the spot”.
warehouse It was targeted because it sent humanitarian aids and goods to Ukraine, including starlink satellite equipment – important for Ukrainian soldiers.
“It is clear that it was a targeted attack, which the warehouse gave a connection to Ukraine in shipping assistance and other items,” said David Cavathorn, unit head of the Crown Prosiction Service’s counter-termerism division.
London Fire BrigadeDuring the trial, the court heard that the Earl had stated a contact in the Wagoner Group that he had found on Telegram that he was eager to complete a series of “missions”, of which the warehouse fire was only the first.
More plots were discovered, including a front attack at a restaurant and liquor store in Mefer, West London and its owner, a multi-millionaire and Russian disgruntled and Russian disgruntled Evageni Chichwarkin.
Sri Chichwarkin was described in court as “high-profile Russian disgruntled and refugee”, which has been vocal in his criticism of war in President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine. Two of his mefare businesses collectively appointed 200 people and were given a price of over £ 30 million.
Earl is the first person to be convicted for an offense under the National Security Act passed by Parliament in 2023 to deal with the increasing risk of hostile state activity.
A fifth man, Ashton Evans, was found guilty of failing to disclose information about terrorist acts, but failed to tell the authorities about the warehouse arson.
A sixth person, Dimitris Paulusus, was not found guilty of failing to disclose information about terrorist acts.
“The case is a clear example of an organization associated with the Russian state, which is a British man in this country, to do very serious criminal activity in this country,” said Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met’s counter terrorism command.
“I hope these guilty send a strong warning of very serious consequences of committing crime from a foreign country.”
