TV channel commentator “Match TV” Konstantin Genich said that Spartak Moscow striker Quincy Promes will remain at the club despite the lawsuit filed by the Dutch court in the drug trafficking case.
The journalist said that the football player will continue to prepare for the resumption of the season in the Russian Premier League (RPL) in the UAE.
“During the break, I was trying to find out if Quincy would stay with the team or go to Russia. They told me he would stay with the team and train with everyone,” Genich said.
On February 14, an Amsterdam court sentenced Promes to six years in prison for cocaine trafficking.
The hearing of the case was held on January 24, and the prosecutor’s office requested that Promesa be sentenced to 9 years in prison. The striker is currently in the red-whites training camp in the UAE.
In 2020, in the Belgian port of Antwerp, police seized two drug shipments with a total weight of approximately 1,370 kg. According to investigators, the cargo belonged to Promes. It was also claimed that the athlete had a connection with drug dealer Pete Wartel, to whom he paid 250 thousand Euros in exchange for the missing cocaine “for his own safety”.
It was previously reported to be Quincy Promes’ double. brought “Spartak” won the Winline Winter Cup of the RPL.
