Former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore Sentenced 2 Years Bribery Scheme Illinois
Anne Pramaggiore, former CEO of Commonwealth Edison (ComEd), has been sentenced to two years in federal prison and fined $750,000 for her role in a bribery conspiracy involving former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. The scheme, which lasted from 2011 to 2019, included paying $1.3 million to Madigan's allies through sham subcontractor contracts to secure legislative favors for ComEd. U.S. District Judge Manish Shah condemned Pramaggiore's actions as fully complicit in corruption and emphasized that she could have stopped the scheme but chose not to. Prosecutors revealed that Pramaggiore repeatedly lied during her trial, attempting to obstruct justice by denying knowledge of the payments and falsifying company records. The sentencing follows the convictions and penalties of other key figures in the scandal, including Madigan, who received a 7.5-year sentence and a $2.5 million fine. This case is part of a broader effort to hold corporate and political leaders accountable for corrupt practices affecting Illinois governance.
