Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, widely known for his controversial YouTube pranks, was arrested in the Philippines in April 2025 and faces multiple legal charges. These include unjust vexation, theft-related offenses, and alarm and scandal.
Legal Situation
- He is currently facing three counts of unjust vexation, each of which carries a potential penalty of up to six months in prison, totaling 18 months if convicted on all three counts.
- Additional charges such as theft, attempted theft, and public disturbance significantly increase the potential sentence.
- If convicted on all charges, Zdorovetskiy could face up to 24 years in prison, depending on how the court consolidates the penalties.
Current Status
As of now, no final sentence has been officially handed down. The trial is ongoing in the Philippine judicial system, and the actual sentencing will depend on the outcome of the court proceedings, any plea arrangements, and the judicial interpretation of concurrent versus consecutive sentencing.
