Commenting on the situation of Spartak Moscow’s striker Quincy Promes, former football player Evgeny Lovchev noted that the football player could be granted Russian citizenship. His words guide the way Sports24.
“We know that Promes is not a bandit. Therefore, I do not believe in Western courts, I just do not believe in them. We either use drugs or dope for them. We are dirt to them. What are they taking us to? They even want to redo the floors for the kids and this is beyond any scope. Therefore, Promes needs to be helped in every way possible. If you have to give a passport, you have to give it,” Lovchev 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. On 16 February, the Dutchman was placed on the international wanted list.
On March 1, journalist Ivan Karpov reported that Promes was detained in Dubai due to an accident. Promes fled the scene of the accident, hoping no one would notice. Later, while the football player was going through passport control to fly from the UAE to Russia, he was detained by local law enforcement and placed under house arrest. His trial has not yet taken place.
