Early life
Corcuera hails from Basque-origin family. He was born in 1944 and was raised in Bilbao. He left school at 14.
Career
Corcuera was the leader of a trade union. He was a member of the Spanish Congress of Deputies, representing Biscay Province from 1982 to 1986 and Burgos Province from 1993 to 1994. He was appointed interior minister in the cabinet led by Prime Minister Felipe González in a reshuffle on 12 July 1988, replacing José Barrionuevo in the post. He retained his post in a cabinet reshuffle of July 1993. However, on 23 November 1993 he resigned from office due to the fact that the bill he developed, the Corcuera law, was declared unlawful. He also resigned from his parliamentary seat. Antoni Asunción Hernández replaced him in the post.
Controversy
In September 2001, Corcuera and José Barrionuevo were tried for the misuse of the public funds. Both were found innocent of embezzlement charges in January 2002.
