'Once he serves his time': Legal Mindset says Vitaly will be deported from the Philippines after sentence
(Image via @PhilippineStar/X & @LegalMindset/YouTube) Controversial internet personality Vitaly Zdorovetskiy might not be leaving the Philippines just yet, but he's definitely not staying forever. According to legal YouTuber Andrew 'Legal Mindset,' the Russian-born prankster and banned Kick streamer could be deported eventually , but only after finishing whatever criminal sentence awaits him in the country. Legal Mindset explains what's really happening with Vitaly's case In a new YouTube upload titled Vitaly NOT , Legal Mindset broke down the buzz around Vitaly's rumored deportation. And if you're wondering whether he's already on a plane out of Manila, that's not happening anytime soon. The lawyer clarified that while some channels have jumped the gun with claims of 'immediate deportation,' the reality is a bit slower and more bureaucratic. 'Once he serves his time… the Philippines will have to send him somewhere,' Andrew explained. 'But that might be one or two or three years.' The road ahead: Court, sentencing, and then maybe goodbye Right now, Vitaly is in the thick of it, facing ongoing legal proceedings after being transferred to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) back in June 2025. The current known charge? Unjust vexation - a vaguely defined but still criminal offense in the Philippines. Vitaly NOT (Fast Facts) Legal Mindset reminded viewers that no final sentence has been delivered yet. 'He's waiting for his trial, waiting for sentencing,' he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo And until that happens, any talk of deportation is premature. What happens when he does finish his sentence? Here's where it gets interesting. Once the sentence is served, whether it's jail time or something else, the Philippines can't legally keep Vitaly hanging around. Legal Mindset confirmed that he'll either be deported back to Russia or possibly rerouted to a third country, depending on how things shake out geopolitically and legally. Internet reacts to the viral twist in Vitaly's saga As usual, the internet did its thing—some celebrating what they thought was an early deportation, others scratching their heads about what exactly 'unjust vexation' means. And a third group just ran with memes about the prankster trading beach views for jail bars. But Legal Mindset's message was clear: Vitaly's exit isn't off the table; it's just not scheduled yet.

'Amazing quality' necklace for under £50 is longer lasting than Tiffany
Happy customers swear after years the necklaces still look 'like new' Necklaces are a classic piece of jewellery and great accessory, especially of a summertime when lower necklines are coming back into fashion. The issue with them can often be how easily they snap. We were thrilled to discover a brand with a lifetime warranty and sturdy designs that might combat this issue. Vitaly was first established in 2011 and makes their sturdy accessories using stainless steel, which is the most recycled material on the planet. It's not guaranteed but there's a possibility that each piece might contain remnants of machines and skyscrapers. Our very own Jada Jones has opened up about the difficulties she's had with dainty chains in the past, she said: "I was bought a beautiful Tiffany necklace for my 21st birthday which I immediately loved. I hadn't really put too much thought into how delicate it was. Within six months the chain had snapped and then when I looked into getting it repaired the prices were so excessive that I accepted I'd probably have to just buy something studier and move the charm over." Vitaly's £49 Rope Chain stands out as a great option for those looking for a simple chain that is also sturdy. It comes in three different lengths, 45cm, 50cm and 55cm, and two colours, stainless steel and gold. The chain is waterproof, tarnish-proof, hypoallergenic and notably comes with a lifetime warranty to give shoppers peace of mind. At 3mm thick it could be slightly too thick for the addition of certain charms however Jada Jones measured her own charms from Pandora, Tiffany & Co and Monica Vinader and confirmed that each of them in her collection would be able to fit on a 3mm chain. The Rope Chain has an almost perfect rating of 4.8 out of 5 on Vitaly's website, with shoppers raving over the quality. One shopper said: "Vitaly is my go-to for jewellery. Their quality is always amazing. I have pieces from 2019 that still look nearly brand new. This chain is so effortlessly pretty!" Another thought it was ideal to wear while working out, penning: "As it is sweatproof and waterproof I have worn this to the gym and hook on my ring when it's inconvenient to wear it. Very useful and low key." One customer was surprised by the thickness of the chain, saying: "Honestly I love the look aesthetically it's just a little thicker than I imagined it (my own opinion). The quality can feel a little cheap as there isn't much fluidity since the chain is roped. I just wanted a nice chain for a vacation and this will definitely do the job." Another said that the chain is quite similar to others on the market, penning: "Good chain, no green and I wouldn't take it in water, however there is chains I've seen in person that are the exact same besides the logo on the hook." Shoppers aren't shy about using the lifetime warranty, one wrote: "Love the chain and when I had broke the original, they sent me a new one without any hassle. Forever have my business!" Vitaly has a similar design with the £38 Cuban Chain which comes in 45cm, 55cm and 65cm. It is also 3mm thick but has a different chain style than the Rope Chain. Abbott Lyon also has a rope chain available on their website for £45, although it's sold out in silver so currently only a gold finish is available.

Vitaly gets bail but remains detained amid ongoing criminal charges for vulgar pranks in the Philippines
(Image via X/@KCMontero) Controversial streamer Vitaly just pulled a move that's making headlines again. After being transferred to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) last week, the Russian-American Kick streamer has now reportedly posted bail and bounced straight back into the hands of the Philippine Bureau of Immigration (BI). However, it's not as simple as you think. From BJMP to BI: What Just Happened? As per local sources, Vitaly posted bail on June 18, 2025, barely a week after being placed under BJMP's custody. But instead of walking free, he's been immediately handed over to BI. Why? Because the streamer isn't just facing criminal charges; he's also staring down a deportation case. According to BI officials, Vitaly is now classified as an 'undesirable alien.' Harsh? Maybe. But considering the list of things he allegedly did while IRL streaming in the Philippines, not surprising. Why Is Vitaly Even in Trouble? Vitaly's recent visit to the Philippines went off the rails . During an IRL stream in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) back in April 2025, he was seen doing things that landed him in serious trouble: Harassing locals on camera Snatching a guard's cap Allegedly stealing stuff Filming people without their consent And even taking a joyride on a cop's bike All of this was caught on livestream, and let's just say, the Philippine Interior Secretary wasn't having it. He slammed Vitaly's actions as 'disruptive and inappropriate,' and legal charges quickly followed. Vitaly is now facing multiple cases, including: Vandalism Unjust vexation Burglary Theft Unauthorized recording Each charge reportedly carries a potential sentence of five years minimum if he's found guilty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo He's Facing Deportation Too So even though Vitaly's posted bail for the criminal cases and technically could've been out, he's now being detained by the BI because of an active deportation case. But here's the kicker: his deportation isn't happening right away. First, he needs to face all the pending criminal charges. If found guilty, he'll have to serve his time in the Philippines before any plane ticket back home is even considered. So, What's Next for Vitaly? Vitaly posted bail, but he's far from free. The BJMP may have let him go, but the Bureau of Immigration stepped in immediately. This saga's far from over, and all eyes are on what the courts decide next. For now, Vitaly's bold (and reckless) streaming tactics have landed him in one of the toughest spots he's ever streamed from: Philippine custody.

Vitaly Zdorovetskiy shows weight loss after transfer to Philippine jail amid ongoing criminal charges
Russian content creator Vitaly Zdorovetskiy appears visibly thinner in new images released after his transfer to the Philippines' Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), The Philippine Star reported. The 33-year-old streamer remains in custody following a series of controversial incidents that led to his arrest in Pasay City on April 3, 2025. Vitaly's before and after being detained in the Philippines — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) June 16, 2025 According to The Philippine Star, the country's Bureau of Immigration confirmed on June 16 that Zdorovetskiy was moved to BJMP custody five days earlier. Photos published by the outlet show him in handcuffs, with some social media users noting a significant change in his appearance since his initial arrest. Zdorovetskiy faces multiple criminal charges after live-streaming several incidents in Bonifacio Global City, where he was seen harassing a security guard, disturbing an elderly woman, and allegedly stealing an electric fan and a tricycle — both later abandoned. He broadcast the footage on his now-deactivated Kick channel under the title, 'Vitaly DISTURBING THE PEACE in Philippines.' He requested bail, promising in writing to remain in the National Capital Region and comply with any deportation orders. However, Immigration Commissioner Joel Viado rejected the request, stating, 'Foreign nationals who abuse our hospitality and violate our laws must face the consequences. No special treatment will be given.' Earlier this month, Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla disclosed that both Russia and the United States — where Zdorovetskiy holds a green card — declined to repatriate him. The BJMP will continue holding Zdorovetskiy until his criminal cases conclude, after which the Bureau of Immigration will proceed with deportation proceedings.
