Well, a crime doesn't need to have been committed. You just have to find someone in power willing to bring charges. This could very well be the start of a cycle of "when the power shifts, prosecute the last guy for whatever it is you think you can make up." How many shots have they taken at the man so far? Plenty. Should this cycle start, look for it to consume a lot of resources, attention, political willpower, and so on, while various Actual Trouble gets overlooked because it just doesn't have that wow drama factor.
