Milan, June 20 (LaPresse) – Dutch prosecutors have told the Associated Press that footballer Quincy Promes has been extradited from Dubai to the Netherlands, where he faces potential imprisonment for involvement in cocaine trafficking.
The Dutch prosecution office confirmed to the AP that Promes is en route to the Netherlands under Dutch custody.
The 33-year-old Promes scored seven goals in 50 international appearances for the Dutch national team before legal troubles derailed his international career.
Last year, he was convicted in absentia of complicity in cocaine trafficking and sentenced to six years in prison.
