Spartak Moscow striker Quincy Promes cannot be extradited from the UAE to the Netherlands within a few days, a representative of the law firm Noura Almaazmi Advocates & Legal Consultants said. This was reported by Sports24.
“Everything is in slow motion in the UAE now; Ramadan continues. Also, in my experience, you can wait a long time for case materials and their review. We assume it may take two to three months for Promes to be refunded. The company stated that these estimated deadlines may also be extended.
Promes was arrested in the UAE on March 13 at the request of the Dutch prosecutor’s office. Before this, he was under house arrest.
On February 14, an Amsterdam court sentenced Promes to six years in prison for cocaine trafficking.
