In a courtroom scene, Shanis, sister to Quincy Promes’s cousin, confronted Promes with a charged voice. The moment carried thick tension as she accused the player of family betrayal and warned that such actions would weigh on his conscience. Her words cut through the room, a stark reminder that personal loyalties often collide with the glare of public scrutiny. The exchange was reported by AD.nl, painting a vivid picture of a family dispute spilling into the legal arena.
The case centers on an alleged stabbing involving Promes’s cousin during the summer of 2020. Reports indicate that, last summer, the injured party was ordered to pay a form of restitution. In the opening phase of March, prosecutors asked a court to sentence the Spartak Moscow winger to two years in prison. Promes did not attend the session due to commitments with his club, which were described as contractual obligations tied to the Red and Whites. The absence did not diminish the gravity of the allegations or the attention from fans and analysts following the team and the broader league.
The legal matter also claims that Promes may have been involved in a separate financial transaction, allegedly transferring 250,000 euros to an individual linked to illegal drug distribution who is accused of stealing a large quantity of cocaine. These allegations add a layer of complexity to the case, intertwining personal conduct with criminal activity that could have consequences beyond purely footballing duties. The situation has drawn scrutiny from supporters and opponents alike, all watching to see how the legal process unfolds in relation to Promes’s professional status.
Promes returned to Spartak Moscow in February 2021 for what became a second chapter with the club. His earlier spell with the Red and Whites ran from 2014 to 2018, a period that seasoned followers remember for notable successes and key contributions on the field. During the 2016/17 season, the Dutch forward helped Spartak clinch the Russian championship, a highlight that remains part of the club’s recent history. At the current point in his career, he sits among the season’s top scorers, sharing the lead with Vladimir Pisarsky of Wings of the Soviets, illustrating his lasting impact on the league as a whole.
Former officials and longtime observers have weighed in on the evolving situation. One former figure, Anzor Kavazashvili, has underscored that a breach of Promes’s contract would represent a significant loss for Spartak, viewing the player as a valuable asset who has repeatedly demonstrated goal scoring and leadership on the pitch. The statements reflect a broader sentiment among supporters who hope the club can navigate the legal challenges while preserving the competitive core that has defined Spartak in recent seasons.
