Raul Asencio acquitted of sex‑tape sharing charges, faces club discipline over drink‑driving conviction
Real Madrid have launched formal disciplinary proceedings against midfielder Álvaro Asencio after he was convicted of drink‑driving earlier this month. The club’s statement, released on Tuesday, said the investigation will assess whether the conviction breaches the organization’s internal code of conduct and could result in sanctions ranging from fines to suspension.
Asencio, who joined the first‑team squad in 2022, was found guilty of operating a vehicle with a blood‑alcohol level above the legal limit and received a three‑month driving ban and a €600 fine from the court. While the legal case is separate from his football duties, the club emphasized its commitment to upholding professional standards and will announce any disciplinary measures after the review is completed.
