It is not the first time the Netherlands international has faced the wrath of the law, having been charged with attempted murder for stabbing his cousin in 2020.
Dutch international striker Quincy Promes, who is already facing trial for stabbing a cousin, has been charged with importing cocaine, the Netherlands public prosecutor's office announced on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old Spartak Moscow player is accused, along with another 31-year-old Dutchman, of importing "several hundred kilos" of cocaine in January 2020, notably through the port of Antwerp, in Belgium, the public prosecutor's office told AFP.
The preliminary hearing will take place on June 5, local media reported.

Promes was initially charged with attempted murder, but after interviewing witnesses, the public prosecutor concluded that there was no evidence to establish that his aim was to kill the victim.
