<s>[INST] An official of the Ministry of Justice is considering a business relationship with an individual who is currently the subject of a criminal investigation.  The official would benefit from the deal if the individual is able to bring in substantial revenue to a company they both have an interest in.
Since the official does not have any direct involvement in the criminal investigation, and he hasn't communicated the deal to the investigator, is there an ethical consideration in proceeding with the deal?[/INST]
