The Netherlands stated that there is no progress in the extradition of Spartak player Promes
Press Secretary of the Dutch Prosecutor’s Office for Appeals Hanneke Sikkes-van Steyn clarified the situation with the extradition of Spartak Moscow striker Quincy Promes to the country. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Sikkes-van Steyn said that there was no progress in the case. He noted that the Netherlands is waiting for the UAE’s response to the request about the foreign player.
On March 13, Promes was arrested in Dubai at the request of the Dutch prosecutor’s office. It was noted that the detention was related to the possibility of further extradition of the football player to the country.
On February 14, an Amsterdam court sentenced Promes in absentia to six years in prison for drug smuggling. In the summer of 2023, he received 18 months in prison in his homeland for attacking his brother with a knife. On February 29, Promes was detained at border control at Dubai Airport for being involved in an accident and leaving the scene. Later it was clarified that the football player would not be sentenced to prison in the UAE; he was to be punished with a fine.
