Perhaps she's waiting to see who offers the better deal. All the prosecutor can offer is staying out of jail. If there are enough bigshots behind this, it could mean a very comfortable retirement.
I know one guy who got caught as the patsy for some company wrongdoing. He spent a few months in jail, paid a few hundred K$ in fines. But for admitting to being the sole actor in the crime, he's now better off than he would have ever been working as a corporate officer until retirement.
