Prosecutor’s Office prepared to withdraw complaint against Real Madrid star | OneFootball

Over the last year, Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio has been under investigation by the Public Prosecutor’s Office in the Canary Islands. The 23-year-old, as well as three former teammates from La Fabrica, is accused of having disseminated a sex tape involving two women – one of them a minor – in Gran Canaria in the summer of 2023, but his involvement in the case could be about to end.

Previously, the Public Prosecutor’s Office had asked for a prison sentence of 2.5 years for Asencio over his alleged role in the incident, but according to Marca, this request could now be withdrawn. Mercedes Gil Castillo, who is leading the prosecution’s case, is prepared to let the Real Madrid man go, on the condition that he apologises in the trial to the two women who appear in the images.

Asencio has denied that he committed the crime of dissemination, which is why the Public Prosecutor’s Office has asked that he attends the trial in order to apologise to the two alleged victims. If he does so, the complaint against him will be withdrawn.

As per the report, Asencio sent a letter to the two alleged victims last year, in which he acknowledged that he made a mistake in showing the sex tape to one of his friends. Gil Castillo was made aware of this, and while the women have accepted the private apology, the Public Prosecutor’s Office is asking for an apology in open court in order for the Real Madrid defender’s alleged involvement to be disregarded.

It remains to be seen whether Asencio, who last week spoke of his excitement at the prospect of being managed by new Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho, decides to obey the prosecution’s request, with the trial into the case currently ongoing.
