A member of the Hells Angels who was arrested after eight years on the lam has been arraigned on four charges.

Marc Bordage, 54, is accused of passing himself off as another person; possessing a false passport; using the passport; and having in his possession another person’s identity papers.

He appeared in a Montreal courtroom on Friday, a day after being nabbed downtown by city and provincial police. He was one of the 10 most wanted criminals in the province.

Bordage was apprehended near Phillips Square by SQ officers with the help of the Montreal police special weapons and tactical squad.

He had been sought since 2009 on charges of conspiracy, gangsterism and drug trafficking.

He was one of nine people never found during Operation SharQc, a roundup of more than 100 biker gang members in April 2009.

He was wanted for 22 counts of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, trafficking illegal substances and offences benefiting criminal organizations. Bordage was living in Sherbrooke at the time his arrest warrant was issued.
