Overview

• Festival organizers say S/8,000 intended for event expenses were deposited by mistake into a bank account tied to Christian Wong.
• Christian states the account is in his name but operated by his mother, presented a notarial document to support that claim, and denies access to or responsibility for the funds.
• On television, Lucía de la Cruz tearfully denied appropriating the money, called her son’s version a lie, and pledged to return the amount “según mis posibilidades.”
• Wong denies being his mother’s representative or handling her contracts, asserting that public blame has been misdirected at him.
• Lucía said she has been financially supporting her son and grandson and accused Christian of trying to leverage her fame while living abroad.
