Quincy Promes, the accomplished forward for Spartak Moscow and holder of 50 international caps for the Netherlands, has been handed an 18-month prison sentence by a Dutch court. The charges stem from an incident in July 2020, in which Promes was found guilty of stabbing his cousin in the knee during a family gathering.
Promes’ defense attorney has declared intentions to appeal the verdict, as reported by Dutch broadcaster RTL. Despite being based in Russia with Spartak Moscow and having past stints with Sevilla and Ajax, Promes did not make an appearance at the court proceeding.
In addition to the assault conviction, the 31-year-old was also indicted last month by Dutch authorities on allegations of participation in drug trafficking.
