Former Netherlands national team footballer Quincy Promes continues to face troubles.
The 32-year-old forward failed to convince the appeals court of his innocence.
The player belonging to Moscow's "Spartak" club has been in the headlines of portals for several years due to a brutal crime - the serious injury of his half-brother.
Now the athlete did not receive a lenient decision and should spend 18 months behind bars and pay financial compensation to the victim.
However, not everything will be simple, as Russia may refuse to extradite the criminal who plays on its territory to the Netherlands.
Q. Promes is also involved in another case, where he is charged with the transportation of a large quantity of drugs.
