During the inspection, trained dogs reacted to a chemical substance, prompting the police specialist team to carry out a full search of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>However, after a comprehensive examination, police said no explosives were found in the vehicle and suggested that the dogs&#8217; reaction may have been caused by chemicals in the car or cleaning materials. During the operation, access in and out of Band&#8217;s television premises was temporarily restricted to address security concerns.<\/p>\n<p>The incident, ahead of the final stage of the presidential election on October 25, served to heighten existing political tensions between the two leading candidates. The campaign and debates between Bolsonaro and da Silva have been marked by controversy, including accusations and deep disagreements over economic and security policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police in Sao Paulo said a bomb alert over Flavio Bolsonaro&#8217;s campaign vehicle was false after a full search found no explosives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
