Carlos Ricardo Bruce Montes de Oca (born 24 February 1957) is a Peruvian politician and a former Congressman, representing Lima from 2006 until 2019, when his term ended with the dissolution of the Congress by Martín Vizcarra in 2019.
Once he graduated, he entered the University of Lima to study Economics, later he began to work in the construction, metalworking, fishery and foreign trade sectors.
He has also served as an international consultant, member of the Editorial Board of Diario Síntesis and professor at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Lima.
On April 14, 2019, he was forced to resign due to open investigations filed by the Prosecutor of the Nation Zoraida Ávalos against him and four other congressmen: Cesar Vásquez, José Palma Mendoza, Clemente Flores Vílchez and Javier Velásquez Quesquén for alleged links to the criminal organization "Los temerarios del crimen" headed by the ex-mayor of Chiclayo David Cornejo.
The official parliamentarian assured that Moquegua was only a small region and that Vizcarra had been included in the presidential roster due to the need to require a provincial to represent the interior of the country.
