But he could have multiple identities. Police believe he also goes by Jean Paul Fontaine.

In the United States, he is known as Roman Janecek and accused of financial fraud and stealing from vulnerable people using cloned welfare cards in California.

He was charged in 2023 and was on a $50,000 bail before he allegedly cut off his GPS ankle monitor and disappeared.

He then headed Down Under to Queensland and was believed to have been in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and potentially Cairns.
