Manuela Villar Ramírez and Judge Richard Concepción Carhuancho have become favorite characters of the Willax channel that controls the businessman Erasmo Wong Lu Vega. The Journalistic medium programs attribute to the prosecutor an alleged case of illicit enrichment, patrimonial imbalance and tax fraudfor having bought 6 properties whose cost would not coincide with its income as a public official. And with respect to the magistrate Concepción Carhuancho, the channel questions it for organizing courses and charging the attendees violating the judicial career law, in addition to fulfilling an “ideological agenda” of having worked a reputation of “Judge Canero”.
On July 17, 2023, prosecutor Manuela Villar Ramírez accused the brothers Erasmo, Efraín, Edgardo, Eduardo and Eric Wong Lu Vega, for the alleged crime of money laundering. The case refers to the purchase of the Andahuasi sugar from the Wong brothers with funds of alleged illicit origin.
The file of prosecutor Manuela Villar is in the hands of Judge Richard Concepción Carhuancho, who is responsible for resolving if there is merit to start oral trial against the Wong brothers. The Public Ministry has required 13 years and 4 months in prison for each.
What Willax publications that seek the disqualifications of the Prosecutor Manuela Villar Ramírez and Judge Richard Concepción Carhuancho is that both are in charge of an alleged money laundering case that involves the five Wong brothers, including the owner of the television channel.
Sources familiar with the Public Ministry and the Judiciary told this newspaper that Willax has undertaken discredit campaigns against Manuela Villar and Concepción Carhuancho very similar to those faced by the former coordinator of the special team of prosecutors against the corruption of power (efficient) Marita Barreto Rivera, who was finally suspended from the head of the head of the Public Ministry’s control authority (ANC), Juan Fernández Jerí.
As the Republic has published, in an audio message by WhatsApp, Juan Fernández Jerí coordinates with the Popular Force and Keiko Fujimori lawyer, Christian Salas Beteta, the neutralization, among others, of the coordinator of the asset laundering prosecutors, the superior prosecutor Rafael Vela Barba.

A known route
In the field of prosecutor Rafael Vela, prosecutor José Domingo Pérez works, the case against Keiko Fujimori, and Manuela Villar, in charge of the investigation against the Wong brothers. It should be remembered that Erasmo Wong, Willax’s owner, backed, in addition to Keiko Fujimori’s presidential campaign, the complaint of the alleged electoral fraud.
when the accusation for money laundering of the prosecutor Manuela Villar, one of the brothers Wong, Efraín, was made public, issued a statement in which I denied the accusations: I must inform public opinion that my brothers and I are being victims of an abuse in tolerable by the Public Ministry.
A Prosecutor’s Office has been investigating a considerable amount of time (almost 10 years) the origin of the funds with which we buy the Andahuasi sugar, ”wrote Efraín Wong, one of the investigated in the case.
“The prosecutor has, at least since October 2021, sufficient information to confirm that Actions of this company were acquired with the product of the sale of the Wong and Metro supermarkets”He added.
“This is actually a new and rude new one in a chain of abuse and illegalities that my brothers and I have been facing during all this time, demanding the protection of our fundamental rights before the judicial authorities. We will insist on achieving justice. We are not assets of assets,” he concluded, while indicating that they would not make more comments.
However, when the file of the case was transferred by the MANUELA VILLARA Money Laundering Prosecutor Judge Richard Concepción Carhuancho, to resolve the start of the oral trial, it seems that the mood of the brothers Wong Lu Vega changed radically.
The Wong channel began to disseminate the headlines: ‘Judge to investigated: Carhuancho violates the judicial law’, ‘The judge who advances opinion and deletes evidence’, ‘Judge Concepción Carhuancho exposed’.
The bottom of the imputation
Sources familiar with the Public Ministry informed this newspaper that the Willax publications intend to disqualify the prosecutor Villar “with the express purpose of trying to lie down the accusation against the Wong brothers For alleged money laundering, in the case of the purchase of the Andahuasi sugar company that, incidentally, began by the complaint of one of the shareholders ”.
Other sources related to the Judiciary agreed that the sense of Willax publications regarding Judge Richard Concepción Carhuancho coincide for the same purpose.
“It is intended to present to Judge Concepción as someone arbitrary, abusive and even excessive, that his figurative eagerness inclines him to order for those who fall in his jurisdiction. And with those arguments he presses so that he is removed from the case for his alleged fame of ‘Canero’. It is evident where this campaign comes from,” the sources said.
The case against the Wong began on May 18, 2018, when the Andahuasi shareholder, Pedro Lupuchealmeyda. Lupuche assured the Prosecutor’s Office that the Wong bought the Andahuasi sugar through an opaque scheme.
The acquisition was produced by an alleged debt of Andahuasicon the company Río Pativilca, of the Wong brothers for the sum of S/64.5 million. The Prosecutor’s Office did not find in the accounting books of Andahuasi or Río Pativilca the records of the alleged loans. But Wong insists that the origin of the funds is lawful.
Erasmo Wong has expressed to prosecutor Manuela Villar that his brother Efraín Wong lent him S/17 million through an offshore, Guip Chi, from Panama. However, fiscal inquiry found no documentary evidence. In addition, the Andahuasi sugar authorities who participated in the transaction were not empowered for these operations.
According to tax theses, the income of money through the offshore guip chi are suspicious transactions in favor of Erasmus Wong that were inserted to the Andahuasi company, to create fraudulent debts and simulated credits.
Discrediting Prosecutor Manuela Villar and Judge Concepción Carhuancho does not improve the situation of Erasmus Wong, so this case has for several deliveries.
