Asencio issues statement after acquittal and apologises for drink-driving incident | OneFootball

Real Madrid footballer Raúl Asencio has broken his silence after being acquitted of the offence of disclosure of secrets linked to the circulation of a sexual video of a minor following a hearing on Thursday. The player said in a statement that the ruling came after a long period of silence while he respected a judicial process he trusted.

He stressed that behind every report there is a person and a family who live with the consequences, while expressing respect for journalists. Asencio welcomed the court’s decision, receiving it calmly and with the satisfaction of closing a significant chapter.

He thanked his family, friends, agent, lawyers and Real Madrid for constant support, valuing the club’s trust that allowed him to keep working, developing and enjoying football.

Addressing coverage of the case, he asked for discretion now that the judgment is known and called for this part of the story to be given the same attention.

Asencio also referred to a recent drink-driving incident, saying he is deeply sorry, accepts full responsibility and that it will not be repeated. He added that he wants to focus on football and reiterated his full commitment on and off the pitch to the club, which maintains an open disciplinary case.
