Russian YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy to be deported from Philippines
Vitaly Zdorovetskiy is a famous YouTuber who has been in prison in the Philippines for about 9 months.
The authorities there have decided to send him back to Russia.
Even though he has a US green card, they are deporting him based on his Russian passport.
Before he can leave, he needs approval from some other government offices.
This process will take some time, but once everything is ready, he will be sent back to Russia.
Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, a Russian YouTuber, is set to be deported from the Philippines to Russia.
The deportation order was issued by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) Board of Commissioners.
Zdorovetskiy's deportation is based on his Russian citizenship and passport, despite holding a US green card.
He will only be deported after receiving clearances from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the relevant courts.
The process is expected to take some time due to the need for additional approvals.
