Plot

On his birthday, Colonel Espinosa (Luis Fernando Montoya), head of the (fictional) Joint Intelligence Group (Grupo de Inteligencia Conjunta, GIC) at the National Police of Colombia, is murdered by a gang stealing a supermarket. He is replaced by Major Mónica Umaña (Marcela Mar), who is soon to be promoted to lieutenant colonel. In the first episode, Umaña, with the team left by Espinosa, and Major Ramón García (Julián Arango), brought to the team by request of General José Fernández (Saín Castro) (and with whom she had an affaire years before), must solve Espinosa's murder.

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]
