Real Madrid defender Raúl Asencio is convicted of drink-driving following a court case in Gran Canaria. Reports say he is found guilty after admitting he drove while over the legal alcohol limit during proceedings at the High Court of Justice of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
According to accounts published by multiple outlets, the conviction follows a stop by police at a routine checkpoint in Gran Canaria, where Asencio’s blood alcohol level is reported to be about four times the legal limit. One report states he was driving in the south of the island in an entertainment area, while another says the matter is connected to an August incident.
Outlets also differ slightly on timing and how the case is described: one cites a local newspaper report and places the conviction as occurring in his hometown, while another frames the information as coming from a court source. Despite these differences, all accounts agree on the core outcome: Asencio is convicted of drunk driving in Gran Canaria.
