Attacks took place in May last year and targeted a car and two houses connected to Sir Keir Starmer.
A man who plotted to carry out arson attacks on property connected to Sir Keir Starmer has been deported, the Home Office says.
Stanislav Carpiuc, 28, was one of two men convicted over the attacks, which took place in May last year and targeted a car and two houses.
The Ukrainian-born Romanian national was sentenced to two years in prison in June. The Home Office said he had been removed from the UK, without specifying where he had been sent.
The BBC revealed the attacks were ordered on behalf of Russia, with an anonymous handler known as EL promising payment to Carpiuc's accomplice, Roman Lavrynovych.
Lavrynovych, a 22-year-old Ukrainian national, was sentenced to seven years imprisonment in June.
A Home Office spokesperson said: "This was an abhorrent attack and the conviction and imprisonment of these men should send a clear message to anyone blinded by the promise of money from strangers. You will be caught and face severe consequences."
"This individual has now been deported from the UK," it added, referring to Carpiuc.
