Leonidas Kouris
Leonidas Kouris is a Greek politician; former mayor of Athens and prefect of eastern Attica.
He ran unsuccessfully for a parliamentary seat in the 2000 election. He returned to local politics and in October 2002 was elected Prefect of Eastern Attica —himself resident of for 30 years—and for a second term in the 2006 election, in which however he exacerbated building disorder in the district by expeditiously legalising thousands of illegally constructed acres of land.
