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.
