Why didn't Pilate inform Tiberius about the death of Jesus?

[Giuseppe]

Pontius Pilate would never have
put to death a free man, accused of having proclaimed himself the king of Jews, without notifying Tiberius, if only to create a title
in his favor. If Jesus Christ was put to death by Pilate's order, there must have been at least one official report on this subject; and this opinion was so well that of the Antiquity, better qualified than we to know the obligations of a procurator, that Christians and even pagans have sought the Pilate's report on the death of Jesus and that, not finding it, they made several forgeries.

[Giuseppe]

Tiberius became so convinced of the truth of the story that he caused an inquiry and investigation to be made about Pan; and the scholars, who were numerous at his court, conjectured that he was the son born of Hermes and Penelope.

What is strange is that even the death of an not-existing being as the god Pan derived the attention of Tiberius, but not that of the Christo quasi deo.

One possibility is that Pilate did make a report to Tiberius which was filed away and forgotten.

Even if someone in the time of Trajan or later wanted to search for reports made to Tiberius by Pilate about Jesus, I doubt if it would have been possible to find it.

Even if someone in the time of Trajan or later wanted to search for reports made to Tiberius by Pilate about Jesus, I doubt if it would have been possible to find it.

The problem with this possibility, is that if we admit that this report was forgotten or lost during the 70 CE, those who cited the forgeries about a presumed Pilate's report would have not failed to specify that they had been "saved by miracle" (or some similar apologies in such direction): they didn't anything like it.

[Giuseppe]

Pilate himself admits that the Jews and not him killed Jesus:

But I, believing that these things were so, having scourged him, delivered him unto their will: and they crucified him, and when he was buried they set guards upon him

But no notice is given about the "miracolous" finding of a such report: as if there was no need of seeing the record of a such report as a "miracle". No need of an apology for the presumed disappearance of a such report. Because there was never a lost report.

[Giuseppe]

Even here: no trace of surprise and no appeal to miracle for having found an otherwise presumably lost report:

Ananias, of the propraetor's body-guard, being learned in the law, knowing our Lord Jesus Christ from the Holy Scriptures, coming to Him by faith, and counted worthy of the holy baptism, searching also the memorials written at that time of what was done in the case of our Lord Jesus Christ, which the Jews had laid up in the time of Pontius Pilate, found these memorials written in Hebrew, and by the favour of God have translated them into Greek for the information of all who call upon the name of our Master Jesus Christ, in the seventeenth year of the reign of our Lord Flavius Theodosius, and the sixth of Flavius Valentinianus, in the ninth indiction.
