Three Men Convicted in Wagner Group Arson Attack on London
The trial revealed that Earl, convicted under the National Security Act, planned multiple “missions” beyond a warehouse fire, including arson attacks and the kidnapping of a Russian dissident. Evidence from Earl’s phone showed reconnaissance and discussions about using explosives in these planned attacks. The targeted individual, Evgeny Chichvarkin, a vocal critic of the Russian government, owned businesses valued at over £30 million. Additionally, Ashton Evans was found guilty of failing to disclose information, while Dmitrijus Paulauskas was acquitted of similar charges.
