Yes but it's probably really hard to prove these kinds of cases. However, Google appears to have had a large volume of evidence that would be really hard to overcome, so the prosecution has a really easy time.
With a lot of smaller companies, it's very likely that it would be a nightmare to try and prosecute and the evidence would be a lot thinner. So you are looking at an unequal outcome because the security practices of Google are probably orders of magnitude higher than any small company.
I mean, these kind of white collar crimes are hardly prosecuted at all, I can't even think of a criminal prosecution like this. I have heard of some civil cases similar to this, but very few that result in actual criminal charges. The only criminal cases I can remember, are from state actors getting caught trying to steal from corporations and then leave the country.
