Rodrigo Pacheco approved by Congress for TCU minister position
The Brazilian Congress has approved the appointment of Senator Rodrigo Pacheco (PSB-MG) to serve as a minister of the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU). The appointment follows the resignation of minister Bruno Dantas.
Pacheco’s nomination was first approved by the Senate on Tuesday with 63 votes in favor and 4 against. On Wednesday, the Chamber of Deputies confirmed the appointment with 404 votes in favor and 61 against. The process was expedited by Senate President Davi Alcolumbre, who presented the legislative decree with support from both government and opposition members.
Pacheco, a former federal deputy and two-time President of the Senate, is a criminal lawyer with expertise in international economic criminal law. His tenure at the Senate included presiding over the COVID-19 Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI). The TCU serves as an auxiliary body to Congress, responsible for auditing the application of federal public resources.
