In one intercepted call with his father, Promes said that it was "lucky that I no longer carry a firearm, because otherwise it would have ended even uglier," prosecutors said. The investigation was triggered later that year by a phone tap from another investigation, which Dutch media said was into an ongoing drug-smuggling case involving Promes. Witnesses saw Promes "make stabbing movements as the victim tried to fight him off" during the incident in July 2020, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said the exact motive was unclear "but it may have to do with the theft of jewellery from an aunt - the suspect accused the victim of having something to do with it," prosecutors said. "Based on the police investigation, the prosecution suspects the man of aggravated assault," prosecutors said. The victim suffered "serious knee injuries" which took months to recover from. "The public prosecution service has demanded two years against a man who is suspected of stabbing his cousin in the knee," Dutch prosecutors said in a statement.
Prosecutors earlier dropped a charge of attempted murder against Promes, who played for the Dutch national side 50 times up to 2021, saying it could not be proven.

Promes, who pleads not guilty, did not attend the opening of the trial in Amsterdam as he is in Russia fulfilling his contractual obligations to his club, his lawyer said. The 31-year-old Spartak Moscow forward is alleged to have attacked the victim at a family birthday party in Abacoude, near Amsterdam, in 2020 in what is thought to have been a row over a stolen necklace.
