An alleged Queensland police whistleblower’s misconduct trial is set to get underway at a Gold Coast court in coming weeks.

Former police sergeant, Rick Flori, was accused of leaking footage in 2012 to the media, which featured police beating a handcuffed man in the basement of a Gold Coast police station.

Flori resigned from the Queensland Police Service in November after 28 years in the job, and said he had "no confidence" in the force's management.
