Real Madrid act swiftly! Raul Asencio faces club punishment after being caught driving over the legal alcohol limit
The range of punishments Asencio could face is outlined in the collective agreement between La Liga and the AFE (Association of Spanish Footballers). Under these guidelines, the defender’s actions could be classified as either a serious or very serious offence, with both carrying substantial penalties.
If the club deems the incident to be a serious offence, Asencio could be suspended from his salary for a period between two and ten days. Should Real Madrid classify the incident as a very serious breach of contract, the punishment escalates significantly to reflect the gravity of the situation. In this scenario, the suspension could last anywhere from eleven to thirty days, while fines could reach up to 25% of the first €100,000 of his monthly salary.
