Mamanivideos scandal

The Mamanivideos scandal (also called Keikovideos and Kenjivideos) is a political scandal that occurred in Peru in 2018 as part of the currently ongoing political crisis. It followed the release of videos filmed by Congressman Moisés Mamani showing opposition congressmen offering construction projects and special access to the presidency to help President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski avoid impeachment; this resulted in the resignation of Kuczynski.[1][2][3]

The videos also received the names of "Kenjivideos" and "Keikovideos" because of the involvement of Congressman Kenji Fujimori and other members of his political party, and Keiko Fujimori. The name is similar to the "Vladi-videos" scandal of 2000 when Vladimiro Montesinos was filmed bribing an opposition congressman to support Alberto Fujimori's government.
