Earlier story:
It is a case that reached to the top of political power in Springfield, and brought down one of the most powerful politicians in Illinois history.
The case centered around former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Federal prosecutors alleged that ComEd officials and others, known as the “ComEd Four,” cooked up a plot to influence Madigan by paying his allies a total of $1.3 million from 2011 through 2019, for alleged do-nothing consulting contracts.
It’s been more than two years since a jury convicted all four of them.
Madigan ally Michael McClain, former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore, ex-ComEd lobbyist John Hooker and former City Club President Jay Doherty.
Last week, Hooker was the sentenced to 18 months and given a $500,000 fine.
Federal prosecutors are asking for a 70 month sentence and a $2 million fine, saying Pramaggiore lied on the stand during the trial.
Madigan was found guilty in February. Last month, the judge sentenced him to 7 1/2 years and ordered him to pay a $2.5 million fine.
