Law enforcement has apprehended a 50-year-old homeless man for setting a car on fire. He committed the act as revenge against the owner. The suspect has been charged and faces up to 10 years in prison.

According to Part 2 of Article 194 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, this crime is punishable by up to ten years of imprisonment.
