CBC News - Manitoba - Sentence upheld in record Man. cocaine bust: "Court of Appeal dismissed James Oddleifson's appeal for a sentence less than the 10 years handed to him in May 2009.
He was to be taken into custody by corrections officials to serve his sentence at an undisclosed federal prison. The 49-year-old had been out on bail while his appeal worked its way through the courts.
Manitoba's highest court has not yet released its reasons for rejecting Oddleifson's plea for leniency.
Oddleifson was arrested in July 2004 after Headingley RCMP officers pulled over a minivan for a traffic stop. Officers discovered a secret compartment in the van that held 46 kilograms of South American cocaine worth an estimated $3 million."
