Personal life

Pacheco was born to Helio Cota Pacheco and Marta Maria Soares. Prior to becoming a politician Pacheco worked as a lawyer, with emphasis of criminal justice prosecution.

Political career

Pacheco voted in favor of the impeachment motion of then-president Dilma Rousseff, and he would abstain in a vote for a similar corruption investigation into Rousseff's successor Michel Temer. He voted in favor of the 2017 Brazilian labor reforms. On 22 October 2021, Pacheco announced affiliation to PSD as presidential pre-candidate to 2022 Brazilian general election.

Pacheco authored Bill 5516/2019, which eventually saw the creation of the Sociedade Anônima do Futebol public limited company model for Brazilian football clubs. The bill was based on a study by the lawyers Rodrigo Monteiro de Castro and José Francisco Manssur that analyzed the Brazilian football business structure and compared it to foreign models.
