Former Ajax Winger Quincy Promes Extradited To Netherlands For 7.5-Year Prison Sentence
Arrested in Dubai, Promes denies all charges and is appealing against the initial ruling, which incriminates him on charges of drug trafficking and assault.
Former Netherlands and Ajax winger Quincy Promes has been extradited to Holland to serve a seven-and-a-half-year prison sentence for drug trafficking and aggravated assault.
A Dutch court sentenced Promes last year to six years in absentia for his involvement in two shipments of cocaine from Brazil through the port of Antwerp, Belgium, to the Netherlands in 2020.
In 2023, Promes received an additional 18-month sentence in absentia for assault, related to a 2020 incident in which he stabbed a cousin in the knee.
The 33-year-old was arrested in Dubai last week following a request from Dutch police.
Promes denies all charges and has appealed both cases. Depending on the outcome, he will be eligible for parole as early as 2030.
Promes, who has 50 caps for the Netherlands, was also arrested in Dubai in March last year at the request of the Dutch public prosecution service while attending a training camp with Spartak Moscow.
Promes made his senior debut for Twente in 2009 and spent three years at the club before moving to Russian side Spartak Moscow.
After four years in Moscow, he joined Sevilla in La Liga but returned to the Netherlands after one year to play for Ajax.
He re-joined Spartak Moscow in 2021, staying for three more years before moving to Dubai United in 2024.
