An investigation will reveal a subset of the people in the chain involved in the misdeed and/or coverup. Could the following process work?
1. Identify the subset of people involved and color them red.
2. For each of the red-colored nodes, color their immediate superiors yellow if not colored.
3. Until there are only uncolored or blue nodes left in the company, do:
3a. Put all red and yellow nodes in front of a court (presumably in parallel)
3b. When a verdict is reached for a given node, color it blue.
3c. If a yellow node is revealed to be involved, color it red, and goto step 2.
3d. If an investigation reveals further people possibly involved, color them yellow, goto step 2.
This is based on a principle of "your subordinate, your responsibility", and is meant to give everyone involved and their superiors a fair chance of landing jail time. I would hope the courts are already doing something like this.
