Three years after a bribery case unveiled against ComEd blew the lid off the investigation into then-House Speaker Michael Madigan, a judge dismissed the charges against the utility as part of a deferred prosecution agreement.
Three years to the day after a bribery case unveiled against Commonwealth Edison blew the lid off the investigation into then-House Speaker Michael Madigan, a federal judge dismissed the charges against the utility giant as part of a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. attorney’s office.
At the time, Madigan, the nation’s longest-serving speaker and Illinois Democratic Party chairman, had not been charged with any wrongdoing and was identified in court papers as “Public Official A.”That all changed in March 2022, when Madigan was indicted on racketeering conspiracy charges that included the ComEd scheme as well as other alleged wrongdoing.
Kness officially dismissed the bribery count after prosecutors confirmed that the company had fulfilled all of its obligations under the agreement.
