What transgressions could hold a director liable for prosecution?

In general, it must be a crime that financially damages the corporation. Other crimes, he'd only be being prosecuted for what he did as a citizen. For instance, a director might find himself prosecuted for personal malfeasance, like embezzlement or blatant conflict of interest violations, or participating in some racketeering type scandal or fraud. As to crimes that the corporation itself may have committed, it is rare that a director would be personally prosecuted for the corporation's actions. That is one of the reasons people incorporate, after all. There have been some cases of the wholesale prosecution of an entire board, but these are rare things involving some historical examples of "trust busting" or over-zealous enforcement of anti-trust laws.
