Case of ex-cop accused of selling information to bikers put off until Nov. 21
MONTREAL – The case of a former Montreal police officer accused of selling sensitive police information to the Hells Angels has been delayed again.
Benoit Roberge has been detained since his arrest in early October.
Roberge saw another delay in the case today with his lawyer sick and unavailable.
Proceedings will resume Nov. 21, when lawyers hope to set a date for a bail hearing.
Roberge is facing four charges: one of obstructing justice, one of breach of trust and two related to gangsterism.
The Crown opposes bail in the case.
Roberge was supposed to be present today but a decision was taken to leave him at the detention centre after his lawyer called in sick.
Roberge has had four lawyers represent him since his arrest.
