Quick Glance: Accusation: Leicestershire man recruited as Russian spy
- An individual from Leicestershire is accused of playing a role as a Russian spy in an arson attack on a business with ties to Ukraine. It is also alleged that Dylan Earl is a member of a banned terror group.
- Among the five individuals charged in connection with the incident is Earl, residing in Elmesthorpe near Hinckley. According to the prosecution, Earl is said to have organized and funded the attack for the benefit of the Russian state.

- Earl was first arrested on Wednesday, April 10, and is among the first individuals to be charged under the new National Security Act 2023. The Leicestershire man was charged by Counter Terrorism officers on Friday, April 19, with aggravated arson, preparatory conduct, and aiding a foreign intelligence service.
