‘Quincy Promes admits stabbing in secret phone taps’ | Dutch football

The current affairs program states that this emerges from the criminal file of the Promes case that was viewed by Nieuwsuur. Until now, Promes has always denied. But in the transcript of the tapped conversations, according to Nieuwsuur, it can be read that the footballer wanted to stab his cousin to death. The phone calls took place in the night shortly after the stabbing.

The Public Prosecution Service suspects Promes of stabbing his cousin in the knee on 25 July 2020 after a family party in Abcoude. Promes played for Ajax at the time, early last year he moved to the Russian club Spartak Moscow.

The footballer is suspected of attempted murder and aggravated assault. In one of the tapped conversations, Promes says, according to Nieuwsuur: ,,Nobody is going to steal from us. (…) He is bold. He knew today. I could not help myself. Sorry aunt, forgive me.” A little later he asks his mother where he hit his cousin. ,,Then he was lucky,” said Promes after he heard that he had stabbed the knife in the leg.

In a conversation with his father, he explains why he used a knife. ,,My loyalty is to my aunt, whoever steals from her I will kill. (…) There are certain people I kill for. You’re lucky I don’t walk with a firearm anymore, otherwise that tori (thing, ed.) would have walked even uglier.”

The tapped conversations leave nothing to the imagination, the cousin’s lawyer Yehudi Moszkowicz told the current affairs program. ,,These are confessions of Promes without his knowledge that he is being admitted. He tells it to his father, his mother and an aunt.”

Earlier Tuesday, the victim in the criminal case against Promes announced through his lawyer that he wants the Public Prosecution Service to prosecute the footballer for attempted murder instead of attempted manslaughter.
