A Sydney woman fighting extradition to Chile over claims she helped carry out kidnappings under the brutal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet says she was on “sick leave” at the time the alleged victims were detained.
Mr Santisi said his client claimed she was on sick leave at the time all of the people were alleged to have been detained, and has called upon the Republic of Chile to produce her medical records. He said there was no requirement for the purposes of the extradition that the allegations against her be concise, nor that she denied the conduct.
