In which department Bertha Jorkins is? She's supposed to be in Bagman's,
but Barty Crouch Jr. refers her as a witch of his father department. Perhaps
Crouch moved her after she discovered Crouch Jr. under the invisibility
cloak ¿?

Saludos!

She *had* worked for Crouch in the past (Percy in GoF Chapter 5). At the
time of her disappearance, she worked for Bagman, having been moved from
department to department over the years (it seems she wasn't particularly
good at her job...). :-)

Besides, Barty jr. mentioned that she worked for his father when she
discovered that jr. was still alive. This was probably several years
ago. I'm also willing to bet that she was quite capable in her job
until Crouch sr. placed that memory charm on her.

Except for comments by Sirius:

Sirius -
GoF: Chapter 19
"Listen, I knew Bertha Jorkins," said Sirius grimly. "She was at Hogwarts
when I was, a few years above your dad and me. And she was an idiot. Very
nosy, but no brains, none at all. It's not a good combination, Harry. I'd
say she'd be very easy to lure into a trap."

My impression is that Bertha has never been any good at

her job and had been shuffled from job to job ever since

arriving at the Ministry
