At the time of his arrest in December Promes spoke to Fox Sports and stated, “It was a shock for everyone, but I am glad I was released so quickly… I can’t say more about it. I’m just as shocked as the rest of the world. It is something from my private life, I cannot say more about it…It feels good that people believe in me, that helps a lot. I don’t want to waste any more energy on peripheral matters.”

At the moment the case will be taken to court, but no date has been set for the proceedings.
