Dubai: Quincy Promes Returns to Football with United FC Amid Controversy
Quincy Promes Signs with United FC in Dubai
In a surprising turn of events, Quincy Promes, the convicted former Dutch international, is set to return to the pitch after signing a contract with United FC in Dubai. The club competes in the second tier of football within the United Arab Emirates. Promes is currently awaiting potential extradition back to the Netherlands while living in the Emirates.
Legal Issues and Football Career
Promes faces serious accusations, including a double conviction that has placed him in a challenging position. Earlier this year, he was apprehended in Dubai at the request of the Dutch Public Prosecution Service.
- Promes received a sentence of 18 months for involvement in a stabbing incident.
- Additionally, he faced six years for involvement in cocaine smuggling.
While the legal situation develops, Promes has appealed both convictions, and in May, it was decided that he could await his trial in a conditional state of freedom in Dubai.
