Promes is still in the United Arab Emirates, where Spartak held winter training ahead of the resumption of the Russian Premier League season. According to media reports, the footballer was arrested by police at Dubai airport and is currently under house arrest. It was reported that the delay occurred after Promes left the scene of the accident. On Tuesday, journalist Ivan Karpov reported that the trial in the Promes case had been postponed for a week.
“You should always separate human qualities from professionalism. A person can be a talented athlete, but at the same time suffer from bad habits or lead an inappropriate lifestyle. This was the case with my partner in the national team Valery Voronin . We were very worried about him when he miraculously survived the accident in 1968. Unfortunately, this is all personal. It’s the same with Promes. It’s a big headache for Spartak when one of the main players leads such a lifestyle. Now they have to make a difficult decision regarding his future,” Byshovets said.
Last June, an Amsterdam court sentenced Promes to 18 months in prison for attacking his cousin. In February this year, the footballer was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to six years in prison. On February 27, the press service of the Amsterdam public prosecutor’s office told Match TV that Promes’ lawyer had appealed.
