Raúl Asencio, the Real Madrid center-back, has been found guilty of drunk driving in his hometown of Gran Canaria, according to local newspaper Atlántico Hoy. The incident occurred two weeks ago when Asencio was stopped at a routine checkpoint while driving in an entertainment area. His blood alcohol level was recorded at 0.90 mg/l, nearly four times the legal limit of 0.25 mg/l.
Despite not being involved in an accident or driving recklessly, Asencio was convicted of an offense against road safety. He accepted the penalty after a three-day trial in San Bartolomé de Tirajana. As part of his sentencing, Asencio was fined €14,400 and his driver's license was suspended for eight months. The Spanish player is currently recovering from an injury sustained during Real Madrid's pre-season stage.
Despite efforts by the club to find him a new team over the summer, Asencio chose to stay with Real Madrid.
