The flagship of the Rainbow Warrior was blown up On July 10, 1985, the Rebo, a vessel of the ecologist movement Greenpeace, was blown up in Auckland Port in New Zealand. Relevant authorities in New Zealand arrested a "couple" holding Swiss passports after the incident. After nearly a month of investigation, New Zealand police believe that the explosion is related to France. On August 6, a New Zealand police team arrived in Paris to investigate the identity of the "couple" and other people involved. Late at night on the 7th, French President Mitterrand sent a letter to the Prime Minister, demanding that the incident be immediately "strictly investigated". After the responsibility is ascertained,"the criminals will be severely punished, regardless of their position."

On the evening of July 10, after 25 ecologists gathered on the boat, most of them left the boat. Immediately, two explosions occurred on the ship in a row, killing the Portugal photographer. An oxygen cylinder and a lifeboat found by New Zealand police on the beach near the scene were said to be marked with the words "Made in France" and believed that the arrested "couple" holding Swiss passports were actually French nationals. On August 9, the French government yesterday appointed Bernal Tricot to investigate the explosion of the sailboat Rebo. Trico served as Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace during the Charles de Gaulle era and is currently a judge of the Administrative Court. This is the first time in France that such a high-level person has been publicly appointed to investigate a security incident alone. On September 22, French Prime Minister Fabius issued a statement at the Prime Minister's Office, admitting that the "Rainbow Warrior" was blown up by agents of the French General Administration for Overseas Security.
