A court case in French Polynesia involving the pro-independence leader Oscar Temaru has been deferred for a fourth time as questions remain about the funding of his defence lawyers.
Three years ago, he and two others were given suspended prison sentences and fines over the funding of Radio Tefana, a community station in Tahiti.
The court of appeal was due to finally hear the case, but it has been put it off again over fundamental questions surrounding his defence team.
