Bondi Nanny Faces Extradition Hearing in Chile Torture Case
Adriana Rivas, the 72-year-old Bondi nanny, faces her final extradition hearing today, accused of kidnapping and torturing victims during Chiles Pinochet dictatorship in the 1970s. Rivas, who has been fighting extradition since 2014, denies the charges. Chilean prosecutors present testimony from a former servant at a notorious barracks, claiming Rivas helped grab, beat, and electrically shock victims during interrogations. Rivas worked for the regimes secret police and fled to Australia in 2011. Families of the victims express frustration with the endless delays, and lawyers call it one of Australias longest extradition sagas. New emails suggest an Australian embassy officer may have known about her bail jump, but the foreign affairs department denies involvement. Rivas has been in Australian custody since 2019. The hearing marks the end of a decades-long pursuit for accountability on Pinochets horrors, with hopes for a final decision without further obstacles.
