I would think they are going to go after the contractors as well. Criminal charges take more time. For example:

> the CEO didn’t violate any rules

No, but he hired contractors who violated rules his ultimate boss, the President, has made a policy priority. As the head of a state-owned corporation, political instincts are part of the requirements.

I mean, I'm always for increased accountability of CEO's. The buck stops there, he should know what was going on in his organization. That's pretty much the job description.

Isn’t it still ultimately the CEOs responsibility?
