Real Madrid’s Asencio convicted of drink-driving
The 23-year-old centre-back was more than three times over the legal limit and fined €14,400, while his driving licence was suspended for eight months.
Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio, 23, was convicted of drink-driving in Gran Canaria in August, according to a court source. The incident occurred on August 16, and Asencio was more than three times over the legal alcohol limit at the time. As a result, he was fined €14,400 (US$16,700) and his driving license was suspended for eight months.
Notably, Asencio was not with the Real Madrid squad at the time of the incident, as he was still recovering from a hamstring injury sustained at the end of July. This week, Asencio faces another court case in Gran Canaria, related to the alleged non-consensual sharing of a sexual video from 2023. Spanish media reports suggest that Asencio anticipates being cleared in this case if the two women featured in the video formally forgive him.
The current trial, scheduled for September 3, 4, and 7, also involves three former Real Madrid reserve players who are accused of recording and distributing the alleged sexual video.
