Quincy Promes, seen playing for Ajax in 2020, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for stabbing his cousin
Promes, 31, plays for Russian club Spartak Moscow and didn't attend his trial
He is suspected of being involved with smuggling 1,360 kilos of cocaine to the Netherlands or Belgium in two shipments in 2020.
Promes, formerly of Ajax, denied the charges but the court found there was enough evidence from two eyewitnesses and intercepted phone conversations to hand down a prison term.
The stabbing, to the leg, occurred at a family part at a warehouse in Abcoude after Promes got into an argument over a stolen necklace.
He was playing in the Netherlands for Ajax at the time but moved to Spartak in February 2021.
The judge criticised Promes, who is currently in Russia, for not coming to the court to defend himself or expressing any remorse.
His sentence would have been six months less had he done so. Promes can appeal the conviction.
Given he is in Russia, it's unclear whether Promes will return to the Netherlands to serve his prison sentence.
The Amsterdam-born forward played 50 times for the Dutch national team, scoring seven goals.
Starting his career at Twente, he had a four-year stint with Spartak between 2014 and 2018 before signing for Spanish club Sevilla.
From there, he spent a season-and-a-half with Ajax before returning to Spartak. He has scored 37 goals in 74 games for the club during his second spell"
Honestly, i only posted the story for the thread title opportunities
I also wanted to shoehorn in a reference to Quincy, of daytime detective fame, but that was a bridge too far
