Promes extradited to Netherlands to serve prison sentence
Former Ajax winger Quincy Promes has been extradited to the Netherlands, where he will serve a seven-and-a-half year prison sentence for drug trafficking and aggravated assault.
The 33-year-old was arrested in Dubai last week following a request by the Dutch police.
Promes, capped 50 times for the Netherlands, was sentenced to six years in jail in February 2024 for his part in smuggling more than a tonne of cocaine into the Netherlands from Belgium in 2020.
He had previously been sentenced to 18 months in prison for stabbing his cousin in the knee at a family gathering in 2020 but is yet to serve any time in prison for either of the crimes.
A spokesperson for the prosecutors has confirmed that the Dutchman has now returned to the Netherlands.
Promes denies the charges and has filed appeals in both cases.
