Gerard Spong, the lawyer of Quincy Promes, does not want to give an update on the criminal case surrounding the attacker of Spartak Moscow. Yehudi Moszkowicz, lawyer for the victim of last summer’s stabbing, does. Counsel talks extensively with the Russian medium Championat about the case that has been hanging over the head of the former Ajax player for some time.
Promes got into an argument with his during a company party in a warehouse in Abcoude last July, after which a stabbing followed. “According to my client, the response from Promes came like a bolt from the blue,” Moszkowicz opens his account. “There was a party and pictures were taken together. At one point, however, the atmosphere changed, after which my client took that fateful blow.” There would have been a reason for Promes’ anger, although Moszkowicz has his doubts. “It has been suggested that my client stole something from Promes’ mother years ago, but that’s really bullshit. If that had been the case, why was he invited to that party? It would be interesting if Promes was in public. gives an explanation, to hear his version of the story. “
Moszkowicz thinks it is logical that his client only told the police a few months after the stabbing incident. “That’s because they are related. My client is very proud of Promes’s success as a footballer, just like the rest of the family. Despite the fact that Promes did this to him, my client didn’t want to ruin his career. I was the first to contact Promes’s lawyer, in an attempt to resolve the conflict. But they refused. I do not know why. The police, however, soon came into contact with one of the witnesses, after which the investigation was opened. I would like to emphasize that my client never went to the police himself. “
The lawyer explains why he takes the case very seriously. “This really cannot be resolved in an informal way. The knife has gone through the kneecap, which prevents my client from straightening his leg. He had surgery on the kneecap, but a large scar remains. Chances are that that is the case. he will never again be able to fully exercise his profession. ” In daily life, the victim of the stabbing is a floorlayer. “Only with help can he walk a bit. The doctors fear he will never fully recover. Running doesn’t seem to be an option at all. My client spends a lot of time on his knees for his work. It seems he no longer will. can do.”
Moszkowicz confirms that Promes can receive a prison sentence of up to four years as a result of the stabbing incident. “It depends on the circumstances. This can be classified as attempted homicide because there is an artery near the site of the impact, which could result in death,” said the victim’s lawyer, who does not think that Promes fled to Ruslans because of the criminal case. “He cannot escape his sentence anyway. Staying in Russia is not an option in that case.” Moszkowicz expects that a final ruling will only follow in a few months.
