Corruption And Church

I am rewording this post, to put it more plainly. An investigation was stopped by corruption, into officers in my city Church. The bank had reported fraudulent transaction, and I was obliged to report this to the police. The police then opened a case, and appointed an investigator. Then:
• The investigator claimed that the police may not investigate fraud in the Church.
• Then he claimed that a statement about my status invalidated the case.
• I sought to bring charges of corruption against the investigator.
• But a shift commander, claiming prosecutorial powers, sought to stop the charges.
• The commander received a rebuke, and the investigator was removed from the case.
• Then a captain confessed to fundamental violations of police procedure.
OBSERVATION: This was strange behaviour throughout, apart from the case itself. What prompted this post: a rumour has circulated that I reported people to authorities for nothing. It may look like that where people do not know the facts, as above. The statement about my status was false, and the investigator unable to produce it.

POSTSCRIPT: There is a related example, which I shall just mention briefly here. The regulator reported the Church auditor to the police. But the investigator claimed the files had been tampered with, then claimed prosecutorial powers for his superior, who is a police captain (but police and prosecution are separate institutions). And so on.
