During a political control debate in the Second Commission of the House of Representatives on September 29, 2026, the director of the Unidad Nacional de Protección (UNP), Didier Blanco, revealed that several former congressmen and former ministers from the Petro administration have refused to return the vehicles assigned to their security details, stating that "they took them."

The UNP confirmed the removal of security schemes for former ministers Armando Benedetti and Antonio Sanguino, alongside other former officials and individuals close to the government. Additionally, the agency disclosed specific details regarding other high-profile protection schemes, including the substantial state expenditures for Juliana Guerrero's security over an 18-month period, and a robust security detail for 'Timochenko' consisting of six armored vehicles and 16 protection personnel.

The disclosures bring legislative scrutiny to the management, costs, and return compliance of state-funded protection details administered by the UNP.
