Luis Alberto Emilio Kouri Bumachar (born November 6, 1959) is a Peruvian lawyer and former member of the Congress of the Republic of Peru during 2000.
[4] On 22 June of the same year, Kouri resigned from Possible Peru, justifying his decision by internal discrepancies.
During the traditional date of the installation of the new legislature, on 28 July, Kouri, along with 18 other congressmen, joined the ranks of the ruling Peru 2000 party, which gave the political grouping a large majority.
[5] On 14 September of that year, at a press conference at the Gran Hotel Bolívar, the then congressmen Fernando Olivera, Luis Iberico and Susana Higuchi, of the Independent Moralizing Front, presented a video recorded with a hidden camera showing Kouri receiving 15,000 dollars from Vladimiro Montesinos, presidential advisor and head of the National Intelligence Service (SIN), to leave Possible Peru and join the ranks of Peru 2000.
[7] The "vladi-video" had been filmed on 5 May 2000 at the National Intelligence Service and Kouri defended himself against accusations of corruption and transfugism by claiming that the money received was a loan to buy a refrigerated truck to deliver fish to economically depressed areas, but days later, the Peru 2000 bench itself withdrew him from its ranks and called for him to be sanctioned.
