Background

Initially, Infiltrados was about a presidential candidate who favours drug legalisation during his campaign, and is murdered. His vicepresidential formula is elected, which prompts a reaction from the United States government. Juan Pablo Posada was to take the lead role.^[3] For unknown reasons, BE-TV changed the plot and turned it into a police drama with stand-alone episodes. Producer Cristina Palacio explained in an interview that the series came from the "need" for the Colombian citizenry to "respect the institutions."^[2] (BE-TV had produced "narco novelas" El cartel 2: la guerra total and Las muñecas de la mafia). The National Police of Colombia co-operates with the production of the series;^[4] its director general Oscar Naranjo attended the premiere party.^[5]
