Quincy Promes was detained in Dubai on Friday, March 1, 2024, after committing a new offense different from his drug trafficking scandal.

Promes' arrest comes about 2 weeks after he was sentenced to six years in prison by a Netherlands court for smuggling more than a ton of cocaine.

Quincy Promes was reported to have been accosted and detained at the airport while his current club, Spartak Moscow, was flying out after training activities.

Based on a report from Yahoo Sports, prosecutors revealed that the Dutchman's recent arrest was for the alleged offense committed in Dubai and not an extradition demanded by Dutch prosecutors.

Speaking with a spokesman for the Public Prosecutor’s Office, he confirmed that the footballer had been arrested but stressed that it wasn't for the “Dutch case”.

He said: “We have verified the media reports about Promes’ arrest. We understand from our contact person there that Promes was arrested for a local offense and not for the Dutch case.

“We will not comment at this time on whether we will request his extradition or not.”


Meanwhile, Quincy Promes who was recently seen with rapper and reality television star #DreamDoll, was alleged to have smuggled into the Netherlands, a cumulative 1,363 kilograms of cocaine from Brazil in 2020.

In another viral case, Promes was handed a prison sentence of 18 months and instructed to pay reimbursement after apparently stabbing his cousin due to a stolen chain.

The 32-year-old has played for an impressive list of clubs so far in his career, including; Sevilla, Ajax, and currently Russian club Spartak Moscow.

He last featured for Spartak Moscow on December 9, 2023, featuring in a 3-0 win over Krylya Sovetov.

The former FC Twente man netted in the 2nd minute of that game to give his side a thrilling opener.

He has won several trophies thus far in his career, including; 1 Russian Premier League, 1 Russian Cup, 1 Russian Super Cup, and 1 Johan Cruyff Shield.

Quincy Promes is a player with speed and technique, with him being able to create electric and magical moments in a game.

Unfortunately, his criminal record is one blemish to his life, with Promes currently being a fugitive due to aggravated assault and Drug trafficking.

The former Go-Ahead Eagles star has made 413 club career appearances, scoring 167 goals and providing 93 assists in all competitions.

Internationally, Promes has made 50 appearances for the Netherlands, scoring 7 goals and providing 7 assists.

Quincy Promes last featured for the Dutch national team, during their 2-0 loss to the Czech Republic in the Round of 16 of the 2020 European Championships.

He is certainly weary of stepping his foot into the Netherlands, in order not to be apprehended and put behind bars. He has not been to a European country in over 2 years.
