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...
