President Abelardo de la Espriella ordered the immediate creation of a new Anti-Corruption Search Block to identify and dismantle criminal networks infiltrated in public institutions. [1] According to the Dian tax calendar, the income tax filing deadlines for the week of 2026-09-01 to 2026-09-04 are: September 1 for NIT endings 27 and 28, September 2 for 29 and 30, September 3 for 31 and 32, and September 4 for 33 and 34. [2] The block will also incorporate the Attorney General's Office (Fiscalía), the Comptroller General (Contraloría), the Procuraduría, and international cooperation mechanisms. [3] The new Anti-Corruption Search Block will depend directly on the Presidential Office and will include the Judicial Police, intelligence agencies, the Financial Information and Analysis Unit (Uiaf), and the National Tax and Customs Directorate (Dian). [4] The President stated that the block will trace the path of public resources that have been compromised and gather evidence to be delivered to judicial authorities.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world2 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
