The RCMP has handed over its file on Senator Pamela Wallin’s questionable expense claims to Crown prosecutors, CTV News reported late Monday, raising the possibility that criminal charges could be laid.

Wallin was suspended along with fellow Conservative senators Patrick Brazeau and Mike Duffy in 2013 after questions about their expenses came to light.

Duffy is now on trial on 31 criminal charges stemming from his expense claims, while Brazeau and former Liberal senator Mac Harb are fighting one charge each of fraud and breach of trust.

Wallin, who was appointed to the senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has already repaid more than $150,000 in mainly travel expenses. She currently faces no charges.

Dozens more senators have been told there are problems with a number of their expense claims, including trips that contained no evidence they involved parliamentary business, or erroneous claims that go beyond administrative mix-ups.
