Sen. Pamela Wallin allegedly fabricated meetings, charged taxpayers for flights and travel related to her work on corporate boards, and misrepresented many of her trips to Toronto even when confronted by external auditors, the RCMP allege in newly released court documents.

In all, the RCMP allege Wallin defrauded taxpayers of almost $27,500 for 25 trips made between 2009 and 2012.

Wallin, the RCMP allege, committed fraud and breach of trust.
