Business career
editDedicated to business activity, he has been a shareholder and manager of various companies, mainly in the real estate area, as well as automotive and IT. In 2008, he graduated with a degree in Business Administration from Alas Peruanas University. He has also completed a postgraduate degree at the Atlantic International University between 2009 and 2011.
He is former president of the Carlos A. Mannucci club, President of the Universidad Técnica de Cajamarca, cousin-brother of the Member of the National Jury of Elections of Willy Ramírez Chavarry, and the largest financier of the Popular Force Party.[1]
Political career
editIn the 2011 elections, he ran for Congress, representing the Cajamarca Region under the Force 2011 party of Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori and was elected for the 2011–2016 term. He would later become the right-hand man of Keiko Fujimori and Secretary General of the Popular Force political party. He resigned in 2016 amid charges that he was a member of the Untouchables, a Peru-based illegal drug trade gang, along with his uncle Fidel Ramirez (owner of Universidad Alas Peruanas). The organization is allegedly headed by Miguel Arevalo "Eteco" Ramirez.[2]
He has become the main financier of the Popular Force ever since.[3]
Controversies
editIn 2014, he was denounced by the Asset Laundering Attorney, but being a Congressman of the Republic he had parliamentary immunity, so it was not possible to carry out preliminary investigations to clarify his fortune, which exceeded US$7 million, investigation which also involved his family.[4][5]
In September 2014, the attorney Julia Príncipe would say: “An unusual increase in the patrimony of Congressman Joaquín Ramírez, from 2003 to date, which was developed mainly in the real estate field through his companies, when in the beginning he only he worked as a public transport collector.”
On May 15, 2016, Univision Noticias issued a report in which an investigation against him initiated for money laundering was attributed, carried out by the DEA -Drug Enforcement Administration- on US$15 million that were delivered to him by Keiko Fujimori.
