The judge is said to have been very unhappy that Promes never showed up to his court during the trial and that because of that he received the full 18-month sentence rather than the reduced sentence of twelve months.
Promes was also ordered to pay €7,000 in compensation to his cousin for the stabbing. Given that there are no extradition laws between the Netherlands and Russia it is unclear if Promes will return to the country to comply with his sentence. The Netherlands can request extradition if Promes appeal fails.
Promes also has hovering a pending trial for smuggling 1,360 kilograms of narcotics to the Netherlands or Belgium in two shipments in 2020. Promes was indicted due to a wiretap from another investigation pertaining to drug smuggling.
