Ex Dutch Int’l, Quincy Promes sentenced to 18 months in prison for stabbing his cousin

Quincy Promes, a former Netherlands international and current forward for Russian club Spartak Moscow, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for stabbing his cousin in July 2020.

While charges of assault were proven, the court found no evidence of attempted murder or manslaughter. Promes must pay €7,000 [£5,973] in compensation to the victim.

He is also being prosecuted for alleged involvement in drug trafficking, specifically the smuggling of 1,360 kilograms of cocaine to the Netherlands or Belgium in 2020.

Promes, formerly of Ajax, denied the charges but the court found there was enough evidence from two eyewitnesses and intercepted phone conversations to hand down a prison term.
