A Calgary man with more than thirty fraud-related charges stemming from Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba combined had court in Swift Current Provincial Court earlier this week. Carlo Romano Deguzman, who's currently in custody in Winnipeg, faces several Swift Current-based charges initially garnered from defrauding a local business nearly three years ago. The 49-year-old was represented in court on Wednesday by his recently acquired defence counsel, Scott Allen, out of Heinricks Galey Law Office in Swift Current. Crown prosecutor Gregory Lee shared that "multiple attempts have been made for Deguzman to appear by video." Deguzman's matters will return to Swift Current Provincial Court next Wednesday, where the charges may finally be waived to Winnipeg. On March 20, 2022, Deguzman was charged with defrauding Canadian Tire in Swift Current and use of a fraudulently obtained credit card. Charges of failure to attend court in Swift Current were issued on October 12, 2022 and March 5, 2025. According to the Winnipeg Police Service, the accused was wanted on three separate warrants for over twenty-three fraud-related incidents, robbery, and probation order breaches when he was arrested this past June after North District General Patrol conducted a traffic stop. He was subsequently charged with fraud, possession of an instrument used to falsify credit card data, and more. In 2023, Deguzman was charged alongside a fellow Calgary resident by Rainy River District Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police for fraud, possession of a falsified credit card, and several counts of failure to comply with a release order.
