The United States of America has named ‘Mikky’ Pacheo, the Goa Tourism Minister in an immigration racket as well as money laundering. The US State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security had contacted the ministry of external affairs (MEA) at the time when Pacheo was charged with the alleged mysterious murder of his girlfriend, Nadia Torrado and jailed from July 9 till July 26 after which he was bailed out.
Mikky Pacheo used to run a placement agency with his former wife Sarah, which found employment for Goans abroad. However, Pacheo claims that he had nothing to do with the company anymore since his separation four years ago.
Francisco Xavier ‘Mikky’ Pacheo was caught on the backfoot on Sunday when these reports surfaced in a national newspaper.
