Pacheco, a member of the Social Democratic Party, previously served in the Chamber of Deputies from 2015 to 2019.[3]
Pacheco was born to Helio Cota Pacheco and Marta Maria Soares in Porto Velho, Rondônia, but moved to his parents' city of origin Passos, Minas Gerais.[3][4] Prior to becoming a politician Pacheco worked as a lawyer,[5] with emphasis of criminal justice prosecution.[6]
Pacheco voted in favor of the impeachment motion of then-president Dilma Rousseff,[7] and he would abstain in a vote for a similar corruption investigation into Rousseff's successor Michel Temer.[8] He voted in favor of the 2017 Brazilian labor reforms.[9] On 22 October 2021, Pacheco announced affiliation to PSD as presidential pre-candidate to 2022 Brazilian general election.[10]
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.[11]
