In a just world this would be considered consumer fraud, or defrauding investors. Things that if you read the law you would imagine that it came with tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and/or jail time for everyone up and down the chain.

If you're selling model capabilities for money, and you change the mobile capabilities, not changing the model designator (name and/or version number) is fraud, full stop.

Hopefully that was a manager and not an engineer otherwise I'm fearful of doing any engineering in ${conviction location} (Germany?)

Mindblowingly, the CEO and 4 execs.

Unlike here where the "phantom bank accounts" fraud was successfully pinned on tellers and branch managers who were all "independently" just trying to meet management goals...

Hopefully it was every involved from top to bottom. Crime is crime.

And yes, if you're doing engineering that violates the law, you should be fearful of doing. That's kind of the point of punishing criminals.
