Promes, who resides in Russia, did not attend the court hearing. This absence further complicates the legal process and raises questions about his willingness to cooperate with the authorities.
The Dutch player has always maintained his innocence and the main evidence came from intercepted ‘crypto messages’.
Promes will most likely appeal the sentence , the crime took place in January 2020, he was an Ajax player at the time of the incident.
In addition to the drug smuggling charge, Promes was also recently accused by Dutch prosecutors of involvement in an assault.
The incident, which involved a stabbing, occurred at a family gathering in July 2020. Promes, who currently plays for Spartak Moscow, was convicted by a Dutch court.

As the legal process continues, the outcome of any appeal will determine whether Quincy Promes serves his sentence or has his conviction overturned.
What a huge waste of talent!
