Raúl Asencio, Real Madrid player, was sentenced to pay a fine of 14 thousand euros for driving under the influence of alcohol. The sentence was recently handed down and also determines other consequences for the player.
The central defender was caught driving with a blood alcohol level almost four times the legal limit. This situation constitutes a crime of driving under the influence according to Spanish legislation.
The Real Madrid player now faces the sporting and legal consequences of this conviction. The merengue club has not yet officially commented on the case, but the situation calls into question the image of the athlete and the institution.
This is not an isolated case in Spanish football, where several players have been protagonists of similar episodes in recent years, generating debate about the off-field conduct of sports professionals.
