The series is based on investigations by the journalist and lawyer Daniel Mendoza Leal, attorney in charge of the slander case against the journalist Gonzalo Guillén, denounced by Álvaro Uribe at the end of 2017. After winning the lawsuit they decided to publish the product of their investigations. The episodes are narrated in the first person by Mendoza. The available information, however, does not have primary sources and has been controversial because some consider it a defamation against the politician, and others as an opportunity to know with more certainty about his judicial record, about whom they have branded as a dangerous criminal. Despite this, the series has enjoyed high expectations. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
