As of April 2025, there is no indication that Vitaly Zdorovetskiy will be released from detention before summer. The Russian-American YouTuber, known for his controversial pranks, is currently held at the Bureau of Immigration Bicutan Detention Center in Taguig, Philippines, following his arrest on April 2, 2025. He faces multiple charges, including unjust vexation, theft, and harassment, stemming from livestreamed incidents in Metro Manila.
Legal proceedings are ongoing, and no trial date has been set. Given the complexity of the charges and the Philippine legal system’s pace, it is unlikely that Zdorovetskiy will be released before summer 2025.
