unaccountable
Not subject to oversight
Unaccountable means not required to explain or justify one's actions to anyone: The agency operated unaccountable to any oversight body.
It also means inexplicable or impossible to explain: For some unaccountable reason, he decided to walk home in the rain.
The first sense implies dangerous freedom from consequences; the second implies mystery.
