Quincy Promes: Everything to know about horrible cell ex-Ajax man shares with 20 prisoners

Stephen Oladehinde 13:23 - 30.03.2024

Shocking details and jaw-dropping revelation of Quincy Promes' nightmarish living conditions within a UAE prison have been revealed.

Promes, renowned for his stints with top clubs like Ajax and Sevilla, finds himself serving a hefty six-year sentence, handed down just last month, for his involvement in a colossal cocaine smuggling operation valued at £65 million.

This follows an earlier 18-month sentence in June 2023, stemming from an incident where he reportedly stabbed his cousin in the knee during a family gathering.

Hailing from Russia and contracted to Spartak Moscow, the 32-year-old was intercepted by border control a month ago, effectively barring his return to Russia.

According to crime reporter John van den Heuvel's exposé for De Telegraaf, Promes' current situation paints a grim picture, as reported by Daily Mail.

Promes finds himself confined in a desolate cell in Al Aweer, sharing cramped quarters with five others, forced to sleep in a double bunk bed while up to 20 inmates sprawl across the floor.

Despite being permitted to exercise three times weekly, the absence of proper equipment makes it a daunting task for Promes to maintain fitness during his sentence.

Moreover, the absence of fruits and vegetables exacerbates the challenge, leaving Promes and his fellow inmates with a meagre diet.

Their only respite comes in the form of daytime television, providing a fleeting escape from the harsh reality of prison life.

The winger's plight is compounded by the company he keeps, surrounded by individuals primarily of Pakistani, Egyptian, and Indian descent, many grappling with addiction and oblivious to Promes' former stature.

The most disturbing finding, though, maybe the widespread incidence of sexual assault that occurs inside prison walls. 

This is made worse by the lack of security and the unfriendly environment, which is marked by freezing temperatures and constant noise from industrial air conditioners.
