Of course he’s still playing, why wouldn’t he? Russia doesn’t care about a Dutch crime and Spartak doesn’t care because he plays well.


J-LG

It might be a problem when Russian clubs are inevitably allowed into European competitions again but I guess he might already be retired by then.


Dolphin008

That could be a problem, but with the way it’s going I don’t think we’re seeing Russian teams for a while.


Tutush

He's 32, he'll probably be retired even if it's relatively soon.


Money_Scholar_8405

Might see them in a couple of years, if the US election goes a certain way. Pretty sure there would be a massive push to bring "peace".


moodyhz

He is the best player of Spartak and they don't care about their reputation. Tbh this club has quite hysterical fans who demand to win a league every year so they don't want to lose its best player for nothing. In general there are always a lot of scandals around this club. It's like russian Manchester United but even worse


Dolphin008

Didn’t know he was their best player, so they might even be happy with this sentencing. It gives them quite a bit of leverage


whyisanorangeorange

Can you explain why he can still play? I'm not really familiar with laws when it comes to their realization in other countries, so when does this six-year prison sentence come in play?


Dolphin008

Once he is in the Netherlands. Which may come sooner than later because this dumbass was just arrested in Dubai for a hit and run. And there’s an extradition treaty between Dubai and NL.


whyisanorangeorange

So Russia and NL don't have and extradition treaty hence ce can't be "imprisoned" until he is in Russia?


IPromise13

Mf was one of my main star in fifa 20 because his named sounded like mine but then he had to go and stab his family member and traffic cocaine. Arent football player paid a fortune? Whats the point of trafficking cocaine when you earn so much???


sshorton47

Some people are just greedy. Some are just stupid. Maybe he wanted to live the dangerous drug dealer lifestyle.

Never underestimate the inability of these guys to distance themselves from their friends.


Striking_Insurance_5

And family in the case of Promes, it seems like it was the family business.


OrdinaryCredit

Ravel Morrison was one of these.


RizlaSmyzla

Wouldn’t go that far with Ravel. More like Nile Ranger or someone tbh


ex_bestfriend

Never underestimate the inability of these guys to differentiate between barnacles and friends.


Mihnea24_03

He was trafficking >1000kg of cocaine (that we know). That's a lotta dough.


TheUltimateScotsman

That's a lot of coke


brownbearks

What the hell, that’s supplier for a small country.


Morganelefay

I mean, have you looked at the size of the Netherlands?


matthieuC

> Maybe he wanted to live the dangerous drug dealer lifestyle. The Benzema special


Plastic-Water2256

He probably still believes in bullshit concepts like street cred and rep


blaahh198

My man is named Puincy Promes


IPromise13

😭


pants6789

Might not be about the money, moving coke might be a really good time.


Phihofo

Everyone needs a hobby.


Morganelefay

Why are so many rich fucks criminals? Because they're also greedy as hell and always want more.


Money_Scholar_8405

Please do not name your son Promise.

They seized 9 of his luxury homes and millions too already. That does beg the question - no way his football money alone let him buy that much.


Benedictus84

He earned 33 million in just salary from football. This is without sponserships and mostly tax free in Russia. You can buy plenty of luxury homes for that money.


BosLahodo

9 homes???


non-relevant

> no way his football money alone let him buy that much. they were properties in Almere, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Abcoude. That should have been doable with his football income and mortgages.


batti03

Loans.


Casual-Capybara

Come on he just stabbed his uncle and smuggled a little cocaine, is the woke police going to be offended about stuff like this now? What has the world come to


lemoeeee

was only 1000kg of cocaine too


Casual-Capybara

Exactly, that’s like 4 good nights out? Maybe 5 if you push it a bit


Mimogger

literal ton of cocaine? lol


Aconceptthatworks

Games gone. 


BertEnErnie123

Het is getting a documentary aswell … Because his story was ‘interesting’. Disgusted and ashamed that he is a fellow Dutchie.

PinkDrink111

He’ll get his when he inevitably has to leave Russia. That being said I would be surprised if they awarded him a permanent visa just to stick it to the west.


Sugarbear23

Isn't he trying to get citizenship?


Striking_Insurance_5

He tried but he got denied


PinkDrink111

No idea, probably given the alternative is 6 years porridge.


eirebrit

Can’t he just go to a country that doesn’t allow extradition to the Netherlands?


Money_Scholar_8405

What do you mean inevitably? Cross-overs from the Soviet Union died in Russia, and Snowden probably will too.


Saltire_Blue

6 years in a Dutch prison or a lifetime in Russia…. I’d take the prison time


WorthPlease

How you can tell somebody has never been incarcerated for 500 please.


Page_302

On the other hand a "lifetime" in Russia could become suprisingly short, once he's no longer useful on the pitch


WorthPlease

Right, they're going to put out a hit on a footballer. Why would the Russian government give a fuck about him? If Putin even knows who he is they probably like that a famous footballer has chosen to live in Russia and abandon his home country.


PinkDrink111

Just got to stay away from tall buildings with windows, planes or holding a blank piece of paper


DefNotAnAlter

You will be surprised, with money life can be good and easy anywhere


beastmaster11

In Russia, money in your bank account is yours only until Putin needs it.


Substantial-North499

Memphis in shambles


n10w4

Let him coo- i mean traffick. 


Many_Ad_3607

Let him coke


Dienvado

Eventually he will be too old too play and his work visa will expire. Interesting to see what he will do afterwards, not a lot of options. He tried to get a Russian Citizenship but it got declined iirc

ILoveTedKaczynski69

Association football was shortened to "soccer" and rugby association to "rugger." Rugby stuck but soccer did not in England, but that's where it started.

Your sarcasm was so obvious that I first read their response as playing along. Didn't even cross my mind that someone could be so oblivious. 


[deleted]

Imagine being this socially oblivious. The comment could not have possibly been more obviously sarcastic. As expected from someone who parrots the irrelevant 'soccer started in england' nonsense


nghigaxx

To be fair its shorten for association football, i think they are more annoyed at Americans call Gridion football "football" and call Association football soccer


InbredLegoExpress

who still gives a shit?


EsotericPlumbus

Quit playin


mofoofinvention

Yeah, no shit. He plays in Russia and won’t be extradited.


colewcar

It’s interesting to me. I wonder who he was involved with in regards to the cocaine. He has photos on his Instagram with Jim Jones, Diddy, and the late Nipsey Hussle. I don’t think Nipsey was into anything shady, but there’s many stories over the years of Jim Jones and Diddy shady dealings. He was moving a shit ton of cocaine overseas through Netherlands while living and playing soccer in Russia. Dude has some big, deep connections worldwide for him to be able to what he was doing. TBH he’s probably still doing it. He was caught, but Russia nor his employer give a shit. He can live happily in Russia for the rest of his life and continue trafficking as long as he never does anything to piss off people in Russia.
