The physical resemblance of the actors and the real people in the ‘The Asunta Case’ on Netflix
Although the names of most of the characters do not correspond to the real ones, the physical presence of some actors is rather similar.
Candela Peña - Rosario Porto
The Catalan actress portrays Rosario Porto, Asunta's mother. 'Chelo' was sentenced to 18 years in prison but committed suicide in 2020 at Brieva prison.
Tristán Ulloa - Alfonso Basterra
The father of Asunta has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for his involvement in the murder of his daughter. In 2017, he penned a letter to Ramón Campos, the creator of the fiction, expressing his intention to end his life once his sentence concludes.
Javier Gutiérrez - Juez Vázquez Taín
The role of the judge is one of the most contrasting aspects when comparing the series with reality. Vázquez Taín served as a substitute magistrate in the Angrois train accident case.
Francesc Orella - José Luis Gutiérrez Aranguren
The attorney defended Rosario Porto during the trial sessions. He boasts extensive experience in his field and is one of the most prestigious lawyers in Galicia. In the series, he is portrayed by Orella, famous for bringing Merlí to life in the eponymous fiction.
Alicia Borrachero - Belén Hospido
After Alfonso Basterra's arrest for his involvement in the Asunta murder, Belén Hospido took charge of leading his defense.
