Evacuation and Response
Employees were evacuated from the building, and by around 3 PM, the joint intervention of the PSP and Lisbon Firefighters was declared complete. Employees were allowed to return to their workplaces, and the security perimeter that had been established was lifted.
The threat was made via an anonymous call, which stated that two individuals would enter the building to leave bags containing explosives. However, according to the PSP, no suspicious bags or items were found at the site.
