Quincy Promes, a forward once primarily associated with Spartak Moscow, is currently detained at a police facility near Dubai International Airport as authorities move forward with his extradition case. Reports indicate he is not held in Al-Awir prison, which has a wing for detainees awaiting extradition, but rather in a police complex adjacent to the airport while legal proceedings unfold.

The UAE arrest occurred on March 13, following a request from the Dutch prosecutor’s office for Promes to be extradited. Prior to this intervention, the player had been under house arrest, marking a turning point in a lengthy legal saga that has spanned multiple jurisdictions and legal systems. Observers describe a case where criminal proceedings in the Netherlands intertwine with ongoing police and judicial actions abroad, underscoring the international scope of high-profile extradition matters.

In a separate but related escalation, a court in Amsterdam on February 14 handed Promes a six-year prison sentence for cocaine trafficking. The proceedings in that matter occurred on January 24, with prosecutors seeking a nine-year term. After the Amsterdam ruling, Promes was added to the international wanted list on February 16. Additionally, he already faces a prison sentence of one and a half years from an earlier stabbing incident, further complicating his legal status on multiple fronts. Source: De Telegraaf.
According to investigative updates shared on March 1 by journalist Ivan Karpov, Promes was detained in Dubai after allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident. Subsequent reporting on March 15 indicated another incident involving Promes on January 15. After this incident, he reportedly returned to Russia and later traveled back to Dubai with his team for a training camp. The sequence highlights a pattern of international movement and the involvement of authorities in different countries as the case unfolds. Source: De Telegraaf.
As the investigation continues, a former Spartak Moscow player who knows the network surrounding Promes has identified several individuals linked to the case. The accounts point to a broader circle described as connected to criminal activity that intersects with the ongoing legal process. Sources close to the probe emphasize that the matter remains active and dynamic, with new developments likely as authorities across borders exchange information and coordinate actions. De Telegraaf has contributed to the ongoing reporting, offering context and timelines that help frame the evolving legal scenario for readers who follow international sports and crime news.
