US government wants former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan to pay $3.1M in restitution after guilty verdict in corruption case

CHICAGO (WLS) — The U.S. government is seeking more than $3.1 million from former Illinois house speaker Michael Madigan.

The video in the player above is from a previous report.

Madigan was convicted by a jury last month on 10 counts of bribery, conspiracy and wire fraud charges.

The current acting U.S. attorney for the northern district of Illinois is now attempting to determine the exact amount of money that ComEd paid to individuals associated with Madigan acting as subcontractors.

The jury’s verdict found those payments were bribes.

Madigan will face his sentencing for his corruption charges June 13.

He faces as many as 20 years in prison for the most serious charges, but it’s likely he’ll get far less, if any, prison time at all.

He has been found guilty on 10 counts in a partial verdict, while being deemed not guilty on 7 counts.
