Earl, a convicted terrorist, has been ordered to pay £160,000 to victims following an arson attack he was part of that targeted a warehouse in Britain. The attack was allegedly orchestrated by the Wagner Group, which is linked to Russia, and aimed at disrupting aid supplies and StarLink satellite equipment intended for Ukraine. In addition to his previous 17-year jail sentence, Earl faces further legal action due to evidence found during a search of his home, including a Russian flag, £20,000 in cash, cocaine worth £34,000, and images of bundles of cash totaling an estimated £175,000. During the confiscation hearing at the Old Bailey, it was revealed that Earl had also admitted to possessing criminal property and cannabis with intent to supply.
