Vitaly Zdorovetskiy a Russian born Youtuber known as Vitaly who does prank youtube videos and has been arrested so many times for many of them. These publicity stunts are what he is known for.
In April 2025, Vitaly was being detained at the Bureau of Immigration Bicutan Detention Center pending cases of theft and public harassment during his streams in Philippines. He was facing up to 25 years in prison but got a lighter sentence of 13 months.
He is being transferred to the worst prison in the Philippines and recent photos of him have sparked public concerns online. People have brought up post of Philippines prisoners staging a protest after being starved and left to rot by the prison Warden.
The prison in which Vitaly is being sent to houses about 1000 people but has 6000 inmates and is very much understaffed. Vitaly already made a few enemies while in the Philippines with his life being in possible danger.
