Adriana Rivas, an agent during the Pinochet dictatorship, is one step closer to facing justice in Chile.
The Federal Court on Thursday rejected the appeal by which Rivas tried to avoid her extradition.
With her ruling, Justice Wendy Abraham confirmed the previous decision taken by the New South Wales Court Magistrate Philip Stewart, who last October gave the green light for the Chilean to be sent to face trial in her country. The application for review is dismissed, the previous decision is confirmed, Justice Abraham said.
The applicant is eligible for surrender for aggravated kidnapping for which her extradition is sought.

Adriana Rivas (pictured) is wanted by Chilean authorities for the alleged aggravated kidnapping of seven people
Chilling government documents allege a Bondi nanny helped kidnap innocent South Americans, who were tortured with poison gas and blowtorches before being thrown out of helicopters.
Adriana Rivas, who has lived in Australia since 1978, is wanted by Chilean authorities for the alleged aggravated kidnapping of seven people.
She was working in the secret police at the time and Chile claims she was a key figure in purging dictator Augusto Pinochet s political enemies in the 1970s.
Rivas was arrested in her public housing unit in Bondi, in Sydney s eastern suburbs, in February last year but has made several bids to stop her extradition to Chile.
