According to the complaint, it goes higher than Schmidt:
"An FBI complaint unsealed on Monday against Schmidt said he and other VW employees told executive management about the "existence, purpose and characteristics" of an emissions cheating device in July 2015, and that the executives chose not to immediately disclose it to U.S. regulators."
But looks like his concerns fell on deaf ears:
"Even as the company obfuscated details of its cheating program from regulators, Mr. Schmidt warned executives in Germany that the company could face criminal charges for its actions, the affidavit says."
We'll see how high they can get.
They got Schmidt when he came back to the US briefly.
The "executives in Germany" will probably not be visiting the US any time soon.
For some reason (German laws are different?) extradition does not seem to be an option. Or maybe Schmidt has just not specified who these German Execs are.
