Raul Asencio Is Slapped with Eight-Month Driving Ban

A breath test found 0.9 mg/l of alcohol in his system, and the court fined him €14,400 and banned him from driving for eight months.

  • Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio was convicted of drink-driving in Gran Canaria, receiving an eight-month license suspension and a €14,400 fine. AFP confirmed the court ruling today, Wednesday September 2.
  • Police stopped Asencio at a preventive checkpoint on the GC-1 motorway on Sunday August 16. A breath test revealed 0.9 milligrams of alcohol per litre, more than three times Spain's legal limit of 0.25 mg/l.
  • A breath test result above 0.6 mg/l triggered a criminal offense rather than an administrative fine. Authorities resolved the matter through a fast-track trial on Wednesday August 19, just three days after the initial stop.
  • Asencio faces another court case starting Thursday September 3, involving the alleged non-consensual sharing of a sexual video from 2023. The trial is scheduled for September 3, 4 and 7 in Gran Canaria.
  • The 23-year-old centre-back made his La Liga debut in November 2024 and has since made more than 70 appearances for Real Madrid. Injuries to David Alaba and Milit pushed him into the first team during the 2024-25 season.
