A bag on the head and injuries: The rope broke after being in Dubai’s prison
A bag on the head and injuries: Promes’ broken leg after being in Dubai’s prison The situation surrounding Quincy Promes is becoming increasingly dramatic. According to Dutch media reports, after being extradited, the footballer is in a serious psychological state. His defense team insists that a psychiatric evaluation be conducted. Promes is currently in Zولле prison, but he failed to attend the recent hearings. The player’s lawyer, Gert-Jan Knops, explained that Quincy has something to say, but he remains silent due to the trauma he suffered. It is said that the footballer was questioned with a bag on his head for a week before being sent to the Netherlands. After being detained in Dubai, the forward was diagnosed with a personality disorder, which has caused him to lose faith in the fairness of the court proceedings. A key date in Promes’ legal proceedings is June 30th, when he is expected to testify in the case related to the boxing fight. Five months later, the court will consider an appeal related to the cocaine smuggling charges. Promes has already served his sentence for these charges. Over the past five and a half years, he played 221 official matches for Spartak Moscow, scoring 135 goals. He also helped the team win the Russian championship and the Super Cup. During his time at Spartak, his transfer value exceeded 15 million euros, making him one of the most valuable transfer targets in Russian Premier League history. His career in the Dutch national team was also suspended, as he lost the opportunity to participate in international tournaments. The absence of the player from court hearings creates a procedural impasse. The court may consider his silence as a sign of disrespect toward the proceedings, which could lead to stricter measures being imposed. The appointed expert can temporarily suspend the hearings, but it does not void the legal obligations. For European sports, this case serves as a symbol of systemic risks when jurisdictions intersect. If Promes’ condition does not improve by June 30th, his defense team will request a delay in the proceedings. Meanwhile, the prosecution insists on keeping to the schedule.
