Quincy Promes, a former Dutch international footballer, has been extradited to the Netherlands to serve a 7.5-year prison sentence for drug trafficking and aggravated assault.
Promes, 32, was convicted in February 2024 for his involvement in smuggling 1,360 kilograms of cocaine into the Netherlands and Belgium in 2020.
That followed an 18-month sentence for stabbing his cousin, but he has been absent from the Netherlands and therefore not served any time.
Promes, who plays his football in Dubai, was seized by the authorities after a request by the Dutch police and extradited back to his country.
Dutch outlet De Telegraaf reports that Promes begins his sentence in a detention centre after being flown back in a chartered plane.
The earliest Promes will be released is in 2030 if his sentences are upheld wth parole.
The Amsterdam court ruled last year that Promes had been directly involved in smuggling 1,360 kilograms of cocaine to the Netherlands or Belgium in two shipments in 2020.
Promes denied the charges, but the court found sufficient evidence, including eyewitness testimony and intercepted phone conversations, to convict him.
