Finished? Real Madrid central defender may be sentenced to five years for suspected spreading indecent videos

On September 15, 2023, several National Guard policemen in casual clothes appeared at the Real Madrid training base and asked Manuel Fernandez, the dean of Real Madrid Youth Training Academy, to accompany him to the locker room. Three players were arrested - Ferran Ruiz, Juan Rodriguez and Andres Garcia - and Asensio was initially questioned as a witness. During the recording of the confession, Asensio changed from witness to suspect for investigation. Ruiz, Rodriguez and Garcia face charges for allegedly recording and spreading indecent videos of a minor and another woman. Asensio is facing alleged charges of sharing indecent videos involving a minor. A Gran Canaria court issued a statement on Wednesday that the actions of these players could constitute charges of "theft of secrets and invasion of privacy without consent", "dissemination and sending videos to third parties without their consent", "recruiting or exploiting minors for indecent activities and possessing videos without their consent", and "holding videos without their consent by the victim." In February this year, a Spanish court rejected Asensio's appeal to temporarily revoke the case, and court documents confirmed that one of the women was under 16 years old at the time of the incident. Article 197.3 of the Spanish Criminal Code stipulates that the crime charged in the Asensio case may be sentenced to 1 to 5 years in prison.
