The Ministry of Sports refused to assist Spartak in granting Russian citizenship to Promes
The Ministry of Sports of Russia refused to help Spartak with the granting of citizenship for the Dutch footballer Quincy Promes. It is reported by TASS.
The Ministry of Sports said that Spartak sent them a letter asking them to assist Promes in obtaining citizenship. “During the study of this issue, together with interested organizations, the Ministry of Sports of Russia decided to refuse the Spartak football club in sending an application for granting Russian citizenship to Quincy Promes,” the organization said in a statement.
On March 2, it was reported that Promes refused to return to his homeland because of the threat of arrest, as he was suspected in the Netherlands in connection with the Surinamese drug dealer Pete Wortel. 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.
