Ahead of the verdict in the drug trafficking case.

Quincy Promes (Spartak)

Dutch sentenced to 18 months in prison for attacking his cousin with a knife. He was also acquitted of attempted murder, as expected. The defendant was given one and a half years. But that’s just the beginning. Promes is unlikely to be acquitted in a drug trafficking case. We are talking about the transport of two huge parties, but only one was intercepted. The people behind the trafficking are responsible for thousands of ruined lives. Promesu can’t hide from prison forever. Lawyers will drag out cases with appeals, but Quincy better prepare for a conclusion until they are placed on the international wanted list. The refusal to appear at the hearings has already conditioned the first verdict. In case of repentance and personal presence, he could get a little less. The decision to hide from the court is an aggravating circumstance.

Kokorin (Zenith) and Mamayev (Krasnodar)

Friends decided to “celebrate” the meeting. As a result, the driver of a man with connections was attacked. They also beat the officer. When the players RPL beat “mere mortals”, then they got away with it. Since there are camera recordings, we know that Kokorin’s brother is more responsible for conflicts than Alexander and Pavel. The lawyers insist that, since it was minor injuries, a conditional verdict was enough. But the case was turned into a demonstration. Kokorin and Mamayev spent some time in the colony. Alexander came out, played, became the champion of Cyprus. And Paul got divorced, that’s his victory.

Eduard Streltsov (Torpedo)

The strongest Russian player in history together with Yashin. Edward began his career at the age of sixteen, at nineteen he became an Olympic champion. And then this title meant more than half a century later. And then there was a scandal, where the ears of officials stick out again. Streltsov was accused of raping 20-year-old Marina Lebedeva. It is not yet clear whether the accident itself occurred. Maybe famous football players just drank too hard and walked in a country where officials didn’t get nice cars and trinkets from overseas trips. Banal envy could lead to a show trial of Streltsov. Eduard was 12, served five, but missed out on his golden years in football. Just compare the before and after photos to understand what even an easy camp could do to a person.

Yuri Sevidov (Spartak)

If Promes has a pure crime, then Sevidov was in prison partly for the same reason as Streltsov, Kokorin and Mamayev. An old man threw himself under the wheels of the footballer’s car. And then Yuri Alexandrovich was not lucky. His negligence while driving resulted in no injury to the man, who turned out to be Ryabchikov, a chemist and laureate of state prizes. Also, the grandfather was immediately taken to the hospital. And that’s where they killed. The doctor left, and the student injected the patient with a large dose of sedatives. Sevidov was made extreme, even though they could have been disenfranchised and punished more leniently. They gave him 9 years, he served 4, but the amnesty didn’t save his career. Spartak have lost a tough striker.

Maxim Molokoedov (Zenit)

Not only famous Russian club footballers ended up behind bars. Criminal elements often include athletes in their schemes. It’s scary to imagine how many Latin American players are linked to drug trafficking, because not only Higuita and Marquez have been accused of having links with drug traffickers. Again a story with a South American flavor, but in the lead role there is a boy from the Zenith Academy. Molokoedov’s career did not work out until his adventures in 2010. In the main club of St. Petersburg, as well as in others, he did not play. Mind enough to carry drugs. At an airport in Chile, he was caught with 6 kilograms of banned substances hidden in the covers of children’s books. The Chilean court handed down 3 years and 1 day in prison. Humanly enough, in Russia for such a game I would have received much more. In prison, Maxim played football, then played for one of the clubs in Chile. He returned home, but failed to develop a sports career.

Giorgio Demetradze (Alania)

Demetradze ended up in prison after performing in Russia. He served one and a half years out of six, even though he was accused of working for a thief. Demetradze, according to prosecutors, became a collector of bandits in an underground lottery. His experience is not prophylactic walks, like alcoholic Tony Adams, or bully Joey Barton, who served two months after a fight. Demetradze – the best sniper of the Russian championship in “Alania”, spent more than one night in a punishment cell. They didn’t beat him, but they pressed him psychologically. George invented a version of political persecution, but this is not true. Georgia is such a country of thieves that they did not ask Demetradze for an autograph, because “it’s not according to the rules.” It is good that the former Real Sociedad striker has found better employment following his imprisonment. George runs a football academy and has two sons.

Promes after his release from prison is also better to think about relatives and children, because he has four heirs. We do not exclude that in the second case Quincey will receive more years in prison, but will be released earlier for good behavior. And for Spartak, even the first verdict is a big blow. Abascal urgently needs a new foreman. And the player has no one to blame. You can’t hit people with a knife. You cannot be involved in transporting 1.4 tons of drugs.

Serious business. In the second case, Promes is, of course, just one of many defendants. The main organizers of drug trafficking are already in prison. Appeals can affect the length of imprisonment, but the fact of restriction of freedom will not be canceled. Instead of playing in the World Cup against Messi, and now in the Final Four of the League of Nations, the experienced striker will go to prison. Did rapper Quincy want to be a tough gangster? Promes has forgotten the fate of most of the bandits.
