The sledgehammer – the group’s signature killing weapon – was reportedly sent in a violin case
A sledgehammer with the “stamp” of the Russian paramilitary group Wagner and traces of blood on its handle was sent to the European Parliament, according to reports, after Russia was labeled a “state sponsor of terrorism” in the Ukraine war. However, European Parliament sources deny that such a thing happened

According to the Telegraph, the sledgehammer – the organization’s trademark murder weapon – was sent in a violin case by “Putin’s chef” and the organization’s leader.
In fact, in a video posted on one of the Telegram channels, a lawyer who works for Yevgeny Prigozhin, carries a violin case into a bare room and places it on a table.
He lifts the lid of the violin case, revealing the highly polished hammer engraved with the Wagner logo and the handle painted red, as if it were stained with blood.
