[5] Son of the doctor Juan Gilberto Iberico and the nurse María Luisa Núñez García, he was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where his parents worked.
He began his journalistic career in 1984, working at various Lima newspapers (El Observador, La Noticia, Hoy), as an editor and political columnist.
This was materialized with the unconstitutional withdrawal of the Peruvian nationality of said businessman and the taking of this means of communication by minority shareholders Samuel and Mendel Winter.
In 1998, together with Fernando Viaña, he founded the newspaper Referendum, which closed after a year, again due to government manipulation through the National Intelligence Service (SIN) led by Vladimiro Montesinos.
He participated in the popular protest called "Marcha de los Cuatro Suyos" on 28 July 2000, the same day that Fujimori was inaugurated for his third term as president.
In August, along with Fernando Olivera Vega, Gonzalo Carriquiry and Francisco Palacios, he undertook the maneuver that would contribute to the downfall of the regime.
Iberico contacted those who offered him the video showing Montesinos delivering money to opposition congressman Alberto Kouri, so that he would switch to the ruling party.
Subsequently, Montesinos fled, Fujimori's resigned from a hotel in Japan and a transitional government was established, led by Valentín Paniagua.
He would ultimately return to Congress on 8 May 2019, as General Edwin Donayre was removed from office due to corruption charges and left the Alliance for Progress bench with a one vacant-seat.
