Russian YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy to Be Deported After Serving Court Penalties in Philippines
Russian YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy will be deported to Russia after completing court penalties in the Philippines. Authorities said the time he spent in detention is considered sufficient to cover his sentence, paving the way for his deportation once legal clearances are finalized.
Russian YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy will be deported to his native country of origin, Russia, after he is done with the court penalties and has served the sentences in the Philippines.
The charges against the YouTuber could have attracted an 18-month prison sentence.
However, authorities stated that adding up the time he spent under detention, it is deemed that he had already served the prison sentence.
It was an ignominious end to a shining online career of Russian streamer and YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, a.k.a. Vitaly “VitalyzdTv” Zdorovetskiy.

Media outlet GMA News, quoting Bureau of Immigration Legal Division chief Arvin Santos, reported that a deportation order has already been released after the YouTuber finished court-required penalties and received the nod from the courts and the National Bureau of Investigation.
Why was Vitaly Zdorovetskiy arrested in Philippines?
Vitaly Zdorovetskiy was detained in April 2025 after a number of public episodes that led to apprehension across the country.
The episodes included public disturbance, theft, trespassing, and reckless driving. The actions led to charges being brought up against the YouTuber under different sections of the Philippine laws.
Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, who also has a US Green Card, will, however, be sent to his country of origin, Russia, since he holds a Russian passport. The Philippine authorities are closely coordinating with the Russian authorities to get on with the deportation process.
Bureau of Immigration Legal Division chief Arvin Santos explained, ‘
“It is stated in our deportation order that his deportation is subject to clearances from the National Bureau of Investigation and from the courts where he had cases. His cases at the Taguig Regional Trial Court and the Metropolitan Trial Court have already been resolved, and the penalties imposed there are also considered served.”
Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla also stated that there is no ill will for the YouTuber, who has also expressed his remorse for his actions.
He added that the Philippines welcomes tourists with open arms, but at the same time, it is expected that the tourists also adhere to the local laws.
