The following is a chronological account of the developments in that affair :- 23.4.85 Christine Huguette Cabon , aged 33 , a Lieutenant in the French Army and working for the DGSE , arrived in Auckland under the name of Frederique Bonlieu with orders to infiltrate the Greenpeace Organization. She carried out that task and gained a considerable amount of information about the proposed berthing arrangements for the visit of "The Rainbow Warrior ". She also gathered information on vehicle hire-age, coastal harbors and boat charter rates. She left New Zealand on 24 th of May 1985. 22.6.85 . The yacht "Oueva " from New Caledonia entered the difficult and relatively deserted Parengarenga Harbor, bounding over the bar at the entrance, into the harbor itself.

The three Navy men were all combat frogmen and employed by the French DGSE . They were interviewed by park Ranger Hec Crene on the 23 rd and advised to see Customs in Paihia as soon as possible.

These two men claim to be physical training instructors at a girls school in Papeete, but in reality are also agents of the French DGSE . It is Camurier who would later plant the charges on the ship, with Tonel in support. The French Government would later, reluctantly, give information about all the rest of the team, but would say absolutely nothing about these two agents. Later at 12.15 p.m, another man, Francois Regis Verlet arrived at Auckland Airport from Tokyo. He was used for last minute reconnaissance of the ship in Auckland. Like the other two men, no information was ever forthcoming from France about him or his place in the French DGSE . 7.7.85.

New Zealanders awake to hear that their country has hosted its first international "TTTerroristTerrorist act ". One of the nations biggest police investigations is launched under the direction of Scottish born Detective Superintendant Allen Galbrath . Jean Louis Dormand, Alain Tonel and Jaques Camurier arrive in the South Island, in a campervan rented by Dormand. As the police begin checking outward airline passenger lists, a tip from a neighborhood watch group on the Auckland waterfront the night before leads to an early alert to Newman’s Motor Caravans to watch for the return of a campervan hired by a man and a woman. 12.7.85. "In no way was France involved " says Mr. Charles Montan , political counselor at the French Embassy in Wellington. "The French Government does not deal with its opponents in such ways ". About the same time as Mr. Montan is talking, the police swoop on Newman’s in Mt -Wellington, Auckland, where a French speaking couple have just returned a campervan, registration LB 8945 . The man and woman, whose Swiss passports identify them as Sophie and Alain Turenge , are questioned at length. Norfolk Island. 15.7.85.

Before the Air Force Andover carrying the police arrives, one Ouvea crewman, Dr. Xavier Maniguet , from Dieppe , France, a diving medicine specialist, flies to Sydney. 16.7.85. The detectives question the three remaining crew members, Raymonde Velche , Jean Michel Berthelo and Eric Audrenc , who claim to be French tourists. Scrapings are taken from the bilges of the yacht to check for explosives, and the detectives find a map of Auckland with a Ponsonby address written on it. But the police lack evidence to hold the crew, and the Ouvea sails purportedly to Noumea. The yacht never arrived at Noumea and is presumed to have been scuttled at sea. The Turenges , meanwhile appear in the Auckland District Court on immigration charges. Their passports, airline tickets and driving licenses are ordered to be surrendered to the court 23.7.85. Jean Louis Dormand leaves New Zealand from Christchurch. Warrants. 24.7.85.

The tests of the Ouvea scraping come back from the laboratory, they are positive. It was this vessel that bought the explosive to New Zealand. Warrants are issued for the arrest of the three Ouvea crew interviewed on Norfold Island. The warrants cite charges of murder, arson and conspiracy to commit arson. As a result of the map found on the Ouvea, the Police and the public learn that a Frenchwoman, calling herself Frederique Bonlieu had attached herself to Greenpeace , gathering details about the harbor and "The Rainbow Warrior ". The woman is now working on archaeological site in Israel. A New Zealand detective plans to go there. Alain Tonel and Jaques Camurier leave New Zealand from Auckland. 31.7.85. Christine Cabon (Frederique Bonlieu ) disappears from Israel. Punishment. 8.8.85. Almost a month after the bombing, the French media have started investigating possible links with the secret French service ( DGSE ). The growing speculation prompts the French Government to appoint Counselor of State, Bernard Tricot to enquire into the allegations. 9.8.85. President François Mitterand of France condemns "The Rainbow Warrior " bombing as a "Criminal Attack " and promises stern punishment if allegations that French agents were involved prove to be true. In a letter to the Prime Minister, Mr. Lange , Mr. F. Mitterand writes : "I intend that this affair be treated with the greatest severity and that your country be able to count on France full cooperation ". 22.8.85. Detective Super intendant Galbraith is told by French authorities that Sophie Turenge is really Captain Dominique Prieur , a French Army Officer based in Paris. 23.8.85. DGSE sources confirm that the woman known in Auckland as Bonlieu is really Christine Cabon , a Lieutenant in the French DGSE intelligence wing. 26.8.85. The so called Tricot Report is released. It says there is no evidence that the French Government ordered the sinking of "The Rainbow Warrior ". The report confirms that Dominique Prieur is a French DGSE agent. So is also her companion Alain Turenge , now identified as Commander Alain Mafart. Also confirmed as a French DGSE agents are the three Ouvea Crew members who have suddenly now appeared in Paris. They are named as Rolande Verge , Jean- Michel Barcelo and Gerald Andries . Authorisation. Mr. Tricot says that the five agents were authorized to infiltrate Greenpeace and to consider ways to counter its activities, but not to carry out any actions. "At the present state of my information " he believes the two agents held in Auckland were innocent like the guilty party’s Government pretends. The report and its implications that the agents were passive observers, and had no part in the bombing, are widely slated as a white wash.
