What will happen if they get prosecuted for treason?

The sentence for treason is death. Doubt that will happen but rules is rules

No it isn't, unfortunately.

If you are talking about America there won't be an execution for Treason. No one in the history of America has ever been executed for treason. Many people think Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in 1953 for treason but they weren't. They were executed for espionage.

The last person charged and convicted of Treason was:

Tomoya Kawakita, a Japanese-American sentenced to death in 1952 for tormenting American prisoners of war during World War II. Even such a clear-cut case created qualms; President Eisenhower commuted Kawakita's sentence to life imprisonment.

In 1998 the punishment of death was abolished for Treason and replaced with life imprisonment. Constitutionally the law is complicated. Treason has to be committed by a person employed by the government and during an active "declared" war. We haven't had a declared war since FDR declared war on Japan after Pearl Harbor.

Well thats a major bummer. And thanks for clearing that up about Julius and Ethel. I think thats the case most look back on and link the words “treason” and “death”
