Dylan Earl, at just 21, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison after admitting to aggravated arson targeting Ukraine-linked enterprises in London. His actions were described as part of a 'sustained campaign of terrorism' on UK soil by prosecutors.

Earl's criminal activities extended beyond arson. He was found to be in communication with a handler connected to Russia's Wagner mercenary group, planning further acts of sabotage, including a kidnapping scheme targeting Revolut's co-founder and a plot to burn down a Czech Republic warehouse.

The sentence was handed down by Judge Bobbie Cheema-Grubb, who condemned Earl's dangerous associations and his significant threat to public safety, encapsulating his role in a serious terrorist plot.
