AD: Spartak football player Promes will not come to court in the Netherlands due to the threat of arrest
The Dutch striker of Spartak Quincy Promes refused to return to his homeland because of the threat of arrest. AD reports.
The football player’s lawyer Robert Malevich said that his client failed to reach an agreement in negotiations with the Prosecutor General’s Office. He stressed that in the event of a long-term arrest, Promes would not be able to fulfill his obligations to Spartak and risk losing his contract, which is why he decided not to come to the court in the Netherlands.
In early January, the Dutch public prosecutor’s office suspected Promes in connection with the Surinamese drug trafficker Pete Wortell. According to law enforcement agencies, in 2019, the football player was involved in transporting a consignment of cocaine weighing 400 kilograms. It was noted that the football player and his relatives invested in a consignment of drugs, which was seized by the Dutch police in April 2020.
Promes returned to Spartak on February 25, 2021. Prior to that, he played for the red and white from 2014 to 2018, becoming the champion of Russia and the owner of the country’s Super Cup with the team.
