A Sydney woman accused of kidnapping seven people during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet has again failed to stop her extradition to Chile.
Adriana Rivas, aged in her late 60s, has been in custody since her arrest by NSW police in February 2019 following a request from Chile for her extradition.
She's accused of being a former operative for Chile's police and being involved in the disappearance of seven people, including a woman who was five months' pregnant, in the 1970s.
In October, a Sydney magistrate dismissed her legal team's objections and ruled she was eligible for extradition.
Her rejected grounds included that the allegations related to a "political" offence and that the people were not kidnapped but arrested
Her lawyers challenged the magistrate's decision in the Federal Court, but Justice Wendy Abraham on Thursday dismissed her application for a review.
She confirmed the October 29 order and that Rivas was eligible for surrender in relation to seven counts of aggravated kidnapping.
Rivas immigrated to Australia in the late 1970s and worked as a nanny.
