Abelardo de la Espriella's political group denounced possible irregularities by the Petro administration in the Army, the UNP (National Protection Unit), and Ecopetrol's subsidiary for more than $370 billion.

On August 4, 2026, the incoming government of President Abelardo de la Espriella filed complaints with the Prosecutor General's Office, the Office of the Comptroller General, and the Attorney General's Office regarding alleged irregularities under the administration of former President Gustavo Petro. The formal accusations involve potential financial and administrative discrepancies exceeding 370,000 million pesos across the National Army, the National Protection Unit (UNP), and an Ecopetrol subsidiary.

In parallel with the anti-corruption complaints, institutional coverage of the transition period also highlighted social and entrepreneurial support initiatives. Among these was the administration's backing of a Barranquilla businessman and acid-attack survivor, who was named the new beneficiary of the Ruta Milagro program to help rebuild his specialized automotive modification workshop.
