MLA Profile
Francisco Xavier Pacheco (Mickky) is a politician from the Indian state of Goa and the leader of the Goa Vikas Party.
He has held portfolios of Rural Development, Archeology and Archives, Tourism, Captain of Ports, Housing, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, and Sports and Youth Affairs in the state cabinet. He is a member of the Goa Legislative Assembly from Nuvem, and has served two terms in the past from Benaulim. In 2015, Pacheco was convicted for assaulting a government official and sentenced to imprisonment for six months, forcing him to resign from his ministerial post.
Pacheco won the 2002 Legislative Assembly election as a member of the United Goans Democratic Party. He later split and formed the United Goans Democratic Party (Secular), which merged with the Bharatiya Janata Party in January 2005. He later joined the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and won the 2007 election. Prior to the 2012 Legislative Assembly election, he left the NCP and joined the Goa Vikas Party (GVP). Pacheco's partner Viola Pacheco was made the GVP president.
In 1981, while he was in seventh standard, Pacheco dropped out of school and became a tailor "to support his family". As per his affidavit in the 2012 Legislative Assembly election, he has assets worth ₹5.96 crore (equivalent to ₹7.9 crore or US$1.2 million in 2016). He was an associate of former Chief Minister of Goa Churchill Alemao, but defeated him in the 2002 election. Several criminal cases are registered against Pacheco; he was also alleged by the United States (US) authorities of his involvement in illegal immigration of Goan youth to the US and money laundering racket.
