The shocking stunt unfolded in Thailand[/caption]
The naked pair performed the jawdropping antics as the pickup truck raced along a wet road in the early hours of Wednesday morning in Phuket, southern Thailand.
Graphic footage showed the online star thrusting back and forth – seemingly without a care in the world.
Furious locals saw the disturbing clip and called the police, who launched an investigation.
Dzugkoev was arrested later the same day – just moments before he allegedly tried to flee the country via the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok.
Pictures show him in the interrogation room before he was flown back to the island of Phuket, where the romp occurred.
Police Colonel Chatri Chukaew said: “The suspect was caught on a flight from Phuket with a connection in Bangkok to exit Thailand.
“However, he was detained by officers at the airport, who were alerted to an arrest warrant.”
The top cop added: “He will now be returned to Phuket to face punishment for his crimes – he will ultimately be deported back to Russia.”
Cops confirmed that the ordeal involved a Russian couple, and added that officers were still tracking down the motorists to face punishment for reckless driving.
Dzugkoev faces a fine of up to £116 for the obscene behaviour and up to five years in prison for publishing the pornographic clip under the country’s notoriously strict Computer Crimes Act.
Police added that they were investigating his visa status.
Local cops said: “He also has social media channels with adult content that may also constitute a crime, so his history of posting obscene material is also being investigated.
“The incident has caused a lot of offence and anger, so he will be prosecuted fully under the law.”
Dzugkoev has a bizarre Telegram and YouTube channel where he publishes extreme stunts.
His content includes pranks and explicit sex videos with multiple women.

Tourists Roman Grigorenko, 26, and Daria Vinogradova, 19, were celebrating New Year’s Eve on Pattaya, Thailand when they became “overcome with arousal”.
They left a bar and continued drinking beer before they ended up on the beach and began romping on the sand.
A video taken by an onlooker shows Daria straddling her partner before she removed her denim hot pants and unbuttoned Roman’s jeans.
The man then mounted her and they made love for around 30 seconds before finishing and going back to their hotel.
Police were given footage of the romp and they were arrested on January 4.
Footage shows the pair, both wearing surgical masks to hide their faces, making a grovelling apology and following local customs by clasping their hands in a prayer motion.
Roman said: ”I apologise for offending citizens and harming the reputation of the city. We’re sorry.”
