In a chilling espionage development, a Russian diplomat has been publicly named as the alleged mastermind behind arson attacks targeting British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Two men have already been convicted over the attacks on a home and car linked to the PM, but investigators have now traced the operation back to a mysterious figure with ties to Moscow, known by the alias “El Money.”
The case underscores the escalating covert conflict between Russia and Western nations, with sabotage and arson incidents across Europe increasingly attributed to Russian intelligence operations. The identification of a serving diplomat as the alleged organiser is likely to trigger a diplomatic crisis between London and Moscow.
