Former Netherlands international, Quincy Promes has been sentenced to six years in prison for smuggling more than 1,350kg of cocaine.
The 32-year-old, who currently plays for Russian Premier League side Spartak Moscow, was charged last May over his alleged involvement in smuggling more than 1,350kg of cocaine with a value of £65 million.
However, two batches containing 650 kilos and 713 kilos of cocaine were intercepted in the port of Antwerp at the end of January 2020.
And now, the former Ajax forward has been sentenced to a prison term of six years, according to Voetbal International.
The report added that there is a ‘good chance’ the former Sevilla star will appeal against the imposed sentence.
Promes did not attend the court hearing in Amsterdam.
He is said to have denied involvement in the smuggling of cocaine through the port of Antwerp.
