Together with an accomplice, the 31-year-old former team player is said to have imported a total of 1,360 kilograms of cocaine to Belgium or the Netherlands in two deliveries in January 2020. According to media reports, Promes, who is currently playing for Spartak Moscow, will not be present at a preliminary hearing scheduled for Monday.
It’s not his first run-in with the law.

It was only in March that the public prosecutor’s office called for two years in prison for him.
