Football player Quincy Promes is being prosecuted for importing hundreds of kilos of cocaine. The batches of coke were intercepted in January 2020 in the port of Antwerp. Promes had been a suspect in the investigation for some time, but the Public Prosecution Service (OM) recently decided to prosecute him.
According to the OM, Quincy Promes would have been involved in the import of two batches of cocaine via the port of Antwerp. It would concern a batch of 650 blocks and a batch of more than 700 kilograms of cocaine: a total of about 1370 kilograms.
Suspect
Promes had long been a suspect in the investigation into the drug load, but the Public Prosecution Service recently decided to bring the case to court. The first directing session in the investigation is scheduled for next Monday. The Amsterdammer is currently playing football at Spartak Moscow, but the OM says that the criminal case can also continue without his presence.
Two years in prison were recently demanded against the former Ajax player, according to the Public Prosecution Service, Promes would have stabbed his cousin in the leg during a family celebration in Abcoude. Promes was not present during the substantive hearing in that case, for fear that he will be arrested in his criminal case involving the import of cocaine. Robert Malewicz, Promes’ lawyer, does not want to comment substantively now.
