He has gone through five defence lawyers, with some having to recuse themselves because of a possible conflict of interest.
Roberge, a high-profile investigator and biker expert, is facing one charge of obstructing justice, one of breach of trust and two related to gangsterism.

Because of his past role as a police officer who regularly dealt with Montreal-area prosecutors, one from Quebec City has been called in to handle the case.
Roberge retired in August and had been working for Revenu Quebec.
He was subsequently fired from that post following his arrest.
