A second man has been charged over fires at two properties and a car linked to the British prime minister, Keir Starmer. The man, Stanislav Carpiuc, a Romanian national who was born in Ukraine, appeared in a London court on Tuesday charged with conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life. Mr. Carpiuc, 26, who appeared in court wearing a blue hoodie and khaki trousers, spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and employment details through a Russian language interpreter. Prosecutor Sarah Przybylska told the hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court that the case involved three fires that were all “set at locations linked to the Prime Minister” within the last two weeks.
