They are (/were). Not on the executive board of the Volkswagen Group, but on the executive board of the VW/Audi/Porsche brands.

They run (ran) R&D at Volkswagen. Whatever happened, happened under their watch.

My lifelong career goal is to become CEO and get fired with a golden parachute.
The basic principle is liar's reports are worthless. When reporters want to create a particular outcome (no executives should do hard time), what you end up with is fundamentally dishonest. And since we have reasonable doubts about the integrity of the investigation -- it's being performed by employees of the original deceivers -- the whole thing is garbage. You can't take it and unshade it a little bit; people who have proved their untrustworthiness simply cannot be trusted. Not just a little bit; not at all.
ps -- what constitutes a believable report? One done by criminal investigative services belonging to a country where the government doesn't own a major stake in the company being investigated.
