Ministry was a way to show that the ministry has its corruptions and 
cover-ups, too. Perhaps she has too much information on other 
ministry members and their cover-ups to be trusted to go on trial for 
fear of what she might reveal. We also don't know in what capacity 
she is serving at the ministry. Maybe she was severely demoted?

with crimes that would cause ordinary citizens to go to prison...
