A CELEBRITY whale suspected of being a Russian spy was gunned down in cold blood after deserting Mad Vlad's armed forces.
Tragic Hvaldimir was killed by "gunshot wounds" after defecting to Norway, says a police report filed by animal rights groups.
They shared grisly photos appearing to show streaks of blood and holes in the beluga's lifeless body in the harbour.
The groups, OneWhale and NOAH, said there was "compelling evidence" to support their claim Putin, right, was involved.
