Raúl Asencio is in full turmoil. Defender trained in Real Madrid, the native of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is talked about in the past hours. The reason? The number 35 of the Merengues was officially charged this Wednesday for the broadcasting of child pornographic videos by the Superior Court of Justice of the Canaries. Concretely, three of his former teammates of the Cantera du Real Madrid – Andrés Garcia, Ferran Ruiz and Juan Rodriguez – aged 19 at the time, had sex granted with two young women aged 18 and 16, except that the recording of a sextape was not known to the two participants who then complained after the discussions on the discussions Whatsapp.
Facts dating back to June 15, 2023 in a beach club in Amadores, in the south of Gran Canaria, when the four footballers therefore met three young women with whom they spent part of the day.
