In Europe, many of the VWs execs are prosecuted over this. In the US the exec got 7 years in jail if I remember correctly. The company itself was fined €1 billion (not enough imho) in Germany. So this actually happens, and I agree that execs should be personally liable for damage that is done to others/the environment as result of their decisions.
