Anne Pramaggiore, formerly of the Commonwealth Edison, was sentenced to the federal prison on July 21 for suborn positions related to the ex -president of the Illinois House, Michael Madigan, who was convicted of conspiracy and bribe in a separate trial earlier this year.
Pramaggiore was the best known of the “Comed Four” convicted of accusations of conspiracy, bribery and falsification of documents that involve legislation that the powerful usefulness of Illinois achieved that Madigan advanced to the legislature based on agreements to hire allies and confidants of Madigan. The legislation saved bankruptcy as an unstable comedy once financially and also effectively stopped legislation that would have required more network updates and close two nuclear power plants. Madigan’s allies put the payroll or gifts donated for the utility, amounted to $ 1.3 million.
Pramaggiore, formerly Michael McClain, Vice President of Comedy withdrawing John Hooker and ex -Consultor Jay Doherty, found that they had used their influence on rewarding Madigan and his collaborators for eight years from 2011.
Pramaggiore, 66, was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison and a $ 750,000 fine at the Dirksen Federal Courhouse in Chicago. Comed agreed to a deferred persecution with the federal government and paid a fine of $ 200 million.
“We hope that this verdict will serve as a warning to public services companies,” the public services service group, a non -profit surveillance group, said in a statement. “Comed admitted corruption in a statement to federal prosecutors and we continue to believe that the company owes its customers debt for illicit events. If the comedy can pay a fine of $ 200 million to the federal government for poor behavior, it would have to pay more to its customers, who represent the real victims of their corporate scandal.”
