Canadian Press NewsAlert: RCMP alleges Wallin committed fraud, breach of trust

The unproven allegations are related to an independent audit released in August that flagged more than $140,000 in questionable travel expenses Wallin claimed between Jan. 1, 2009, and Sept. 30, 2012 — expenses Wallin has since paid back.
