Feb 17 (Reuters) - Peru’s Congress on Tuesday ousted President Jose Jeri after just four months in office, following a scandal over undisclosed meetings with a Chinese businessman, continuing a revolving door of leaders in the South American nation.

Jeri was removed by simple majority vote through a censure measure.
