At the beginning of this week, the president requested the Legislative's permission to attend the inauguration of the Colombian president-elect Gustavo Petro this Sunday.

To date, Castillo has four criminal tax investigations for alleged corruption crimes in his government; he also has another in the civil court for an alleged crime committed in 2012.
