Une enquête liée à la BBC identifie le diplomate russe derrière le complot d’incendies criminels « El Money » visant Starmer

Mis à jour le 28 juin 2026, 00:00 UTC | Londres : Une enquête de la BBC, rapportée par The Guardian et La Libre Belgique, a identifié le diplomate russe de 23 ans Evgeny Lyukshin comme la figure présumée en ligne connue sous le nom d’« El Money », qui, selon les procureurs, a dirigé des incendies criminels contre des biens liés au Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer en mai 2025. AP a rapporté que Roman Lavrynovych et Stanislav Carpiuc ont été reconnus coupables puis condamnés pour le complot, tandis que l’intermédiaire n’a pas été inculpé.

Pourquoi c'est important

L’affaire montre comment le recrutement en ligne à faible coût, les promesses de paiement en cryptomonnaies et la désinformation peuvent transformer des actes criminels ordinaires en intimidation politique. Pour les lecteurs en Belgique et ailleurs en Europe, l’enjeu direct ne se limite pas à la sécurité intérieure britannique. Les informations d’AP, de l’OTAN et d’Europol inscrivent l’affaire dans un schéma plus large de sabotages, d’incendies criminels et d’activités par procuration soupçonnés d’être liés à la Russie, visant des pays qui soutiennent l’Ukraine.

Impact régional

La Belgique n’est pas une cible directe dans cette affaire. Sa pertinence belge est indirecte : Bruxelles accueille l’OTAN et les institutions de l’UE qui coordonnent les réponses aux activités hybrides russes, et les résidents belges suivent le même environnement sécuritaire européen façonné par ces opérations.

Perspectives opposées

  1. Enquêteurs de la BBC et du Financial Times

    Les enquêtes citées par The Guardian indiquent que des traces numériques, l’activité sur Telegram et d’autres éléments issus de sources ouvertes relient la personnalité El Money à Evgeny Lyukshin et à un écosystème plus large d’influence et de sabotage lié à la Russie.

  2. Ambassade de Russie et responsables russes

    L’ambassade de Russie a rejeté les tentatives visant à lier la Russie ou son ministère des Affaires étrangères à des activités illégales. Ce démenti importe sur le plan juridique, car l’affaire de l’Old Bailey a condamné les incendiaires, et non l’intermédiaire présumé à l’étranger ni l’État russe.

  3. Police et procureurs britanniques

    Les autorités britanniques ont centré le dossier pénal sur l’incendie criminel, le complot et la mise en danger de la vie d’autrui. La police a déclaré que les prévenus n’avaient pas de mobile idéologique prouvé et qu’établir devant un tribunal une opération dirigée par un État est plus difficile qu’identifier des méthodes suspectes.

NATO is a Brussels-headquartered security institution referenced in relation to deterrence, Ukraine support planning, burden-sharing and Belgium’s defence commitments. It matters because it frames Brussels policy debates on escalation consequences and defence spending targets.
