The Truth about Raúl Asencio in the Real Madrid Youth Players Case: 'He's Not...'

Relevo uncovers the latest developments and the judge's ruling is clear: Raúl Asencio has nothing to do with it.

There's been a lot of talk about Raúl Asencio since his promotion to Real Madrid's first team. One issue that's been used is his alleged involvement in the so-called 'youth academy case,' having recorded and distributed a child pornography video in 2023. The Canary Islander has been severely accused both on social media and in some media outlets, however, the truth has finally come to light.

Relevo has discovered that Raúl Asencio "is no longer being treated as a suspect" by the investigating judge, now serving only as a witness. This frees him from any accusation in a possible crime and links him to the case only to help clarify the facts. The point is clear: he's no longer implicated, with the judge deciding, after investigations, that he should help with his knowledge of what happened.

Thus, Raúl Asencio is no longer considered a probable perpetrator of the crime and has therefore lost his status as a suspect. There's a possibility he could become one again, but it's unlikely. The investigation has been ongoing for months and it's been decided that Real Madrid's center-back has nothing to do with what happened. His current status as a suspect "doesn't imply any guilt".

Despite all the talk since his promotion to the first team, the truth is that even one of the alleged victims publicly exonerated Raúl Asencio. In an interview with AS on September 20, 2023, she pointed out: "A third friend was with the other player, that fourth guy who stays out, in the general pool. They had nothing to do with what happened".

The truth is that Raúl Asencio has never been afraid, claiming he wasn't even at the scene of the incident. At Real Madrid, until proven otherwise, the Canary Islander center-back will be considered innocent, as is happening now. Although he's received a lot of criticism and this has always been used against him, the reality is quite different.

Months after this came to light, Real Madrid's decision was clear and forceful: to get rid of the implicated youth players. Raúl Asencio's position was always the same: he had nothing to do with it. So far, the judge has agreed with him and no one can doubt otherwise. Until proven otherwise, he's innocent.
