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.
