Peter R. de Vries is convinced that Quincy Promes has stabbed his cousin himself, says the crime reporter in the YouTube talk show Football time. De Vries predicts that the case will certainly have a tail end for the 29-year-old attacker, who made the switch from Ajax to Spartak Moscow at the end of February.
In the talk show, De Vries is asked about his views on the controversial case surrounding Promes, who allegedly stabbed his nephew at a family party in July 2020. “Then I have to say that it does not look good for him,” said the journalist. “I happen to know quite a bit about that. I follow that and I am in contact with those involved. For me personally it is clear that he was involved in that stabbing. He stabbed himself. That’s as I know the story, but the judge must judge it in the end. “

De Vries thinks he has a good idea of the issue himself. “Let me say as a crime reporter who has studied the case; this does not look good for him. I think that Ajax also found out and that was the reason that he was no longer drafted and they were very happy. that he went to Moscow. But of course the story does not end there. “
Promes is still considered a suspect in the case and was again questioned by the police at the end of February. “That case is still ongoing and there will undoubtedly be a court hearing at some point. I am convinced of that. Then the question is: does he come there, does he show up voluntarily? If he does not come, he can be sentenced in absentia. That means that if that conviction is final, it means that from that moment on he will no longer be able to travel freely. “
Spartak Moscow is likely to qualify for European football, which means that Promes will have to travel for away games next season. “A footballer who can no longer travel, that is of course impossible. So there are still difficult times ahead of him, unless he goes to that court hearing and tells his story there. Then he must hope that something will roll out that will help him. I can continue to play football. A community service order perhaps. I cannot fill it all in, the judge has to do that. But on the other hand, someone has of course been stabbed who sustained a serious injury and therefore cannot work, so you know. I. Then community service becomes a bit more unlikely. “
Also in Veronica Inside De Vries’ statements were discussed on Monday evening. Johan Derksen called on Promes to no longer invite Promes to the the Dutch squad for the time being. The wing tip is ‘just’ in the pre-selection that Frank de Boer announced on Sunday. “Peter R. de Vries knows all about the hat and the brim and he says:” That’s really true. ” I think: a player who is involved in a stabbing incident and that is still under the judge, that he is not allowed to wear the the Dutch shirt “, said Derksen.
