The Public Prosecution Service is prosecuting 30-year-old former Ajax player Quincy Promes for attempted murder. This is done at the request of the victim’s lawyer. Promes’ lawyer had no objection to this.
The victim’s lawyer, Promes’ cousin, had filed a complaint with the court to add to the suspicion. The complaint initially made it appear that the trial had to be postponed, because the court could not make a decision before March 31.
Speed procedure
“As a result of this message, the Public Prosecution Service was approached by the suspect’s lawyer, who suggested adjusting the indictment to the wishes of the victim’s lawyer and thus expanding the indictment with attempted murder,” the Public Prosecution Service said. “That could help speed up the procedure.”
It therefore seems that the lawsuit can still take place on March 31 and therefore does not need to be postponed. At the same time, the Public Prosecution Service says that it does not want to prejudge a definitive position during that session. “As usual, the public prosecutor will only take this position during the substantive treatment.
Phone calls
Yesterday Nieuwsuur reported that in several tapped telephone conversations about the stabbing, which took place during a family party in Abcoude, Promes would have spoken. “He knew today. I couldn’t resist,” he is said to have said, for example.
