Streamer Vitaly Looks Unrecognizable Before Russian Deportation
Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, a streamer known for his controversial content, is facing deportation back to Russia after a nine-month incarceration in the Philippines. This announcement comes from the Philippines’ Department of Interior and Local Government, revealing that he has completed his sentence.
Details of Deportation
On January 15, a press briefing confirmed Vitaly’s eligibility for deportation. Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla addressed the media, stating:
- “Let this be a reminder to all our visitors here in the Philippines that while we welcome tourists, we expect them to follow our laws.”
Vitaly is expected to be deported within the upcoming week. The Bureau of Immigration verified that a deportation order has been issued. However, clearance from the National Bureau of Investigation is still pending.
Background of the Case
Vitaly was arrested in the Philippines last year due to a controversial livestream event. His livestream involved behavior that disturbed the peace. During the broadcast, he harassed local residents, including a traffic officer, and was seen stealing a patrol motorcycle. He also played pranks on security personnel.
Life in Detention
Following his arrest, Vitaly remained in custody while facing charges. Reports indicated significant weight loss while he was incarcerated. His appearance during the recent press conference showcased a new look, complete with a scruffy beard and a fuller head of hair.
As he prepares for his return to Russia, the streamer reflects a stark transformation from the time of his arrest. His experience serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of respecting local laws while traveling.
