Arrest of Real Madrid Academy Players Over Alleged Intimate Video Involvement
In a shocking turn of events, four players from the Real Madrid Youth Academy, including Raúl Asencio, Ferron Ruiz, Juan Rodriguez, and Andreas Garcia, are under investigation for allegedly leaking a sex tape involving a minor. The case, which dates back to an incident at a beach club in Gran Canaria in 2023, has resulted in several arrests made in September of the same year.
Asencio, who was regularly involved with the first team at Burnabal last season, is among those potentially facing criminal charges related to the sharing of the private video via WhatsApp.
The investigation, which is ongoing, has seen the authorities seize the mobile phones of the players involved for further examination. The Real Madrid Foundation Football Academy, located in Spain, has confirmed that a Castilla player and three Real Madrid C players have made statements to the Civil Guard in relation to the investigation.
The Real Madrid club has stated that they will take appropriate measures once they have detailed knowledge of the facts. However, they have not provided any further details about the measures they will take or the specific players involved in the investigation.
Reports suggest that there may be several more players involved in leaking the tape, potentially including members of the first team. The alleged victim's mother reported the incident on September 6 in the Canari Islands.
The arrest occurred at Valdebebas, where the Guardia Civil was present and the players were training. The suspects were caught and sent to police headquarters for questioning. The club has remained tight-lipped about the matter, with another player from the Real Madrid Youth Academy also giving testimony to the police in relation to the investigation.
As the investigation continues, more details are expected to emerge. The footballing world watches with bated breath, hoping for a swift and just resolution to this troubling situation.
