ComEd Ex-CEO Anne Pramaggiore Sentenced to Two-Year Prison Term

It follows her 2023 conviction for orchestrating no-work contracts to influence former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.

Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Manish Shah imposed a 24-month term and $750,000 fine for Pramaggiore’s roles in conspiracy, bribery and falsifying records.
  • Her conviction arose from a scheme that funneled $1.3 million through sham consulting contracts to Madigan allies between 2011 and 2019.
  • Former ComEd lobbyist John Hooker received an 18-month sentence last week, and co-defendants Michael McClain and Jay Doherty are scheduled for sentencing on July 24 and August 5.
  • Michael Madigan is serving a 7½-year prison term for separate corruption convictions and has filed an appeal.
  • In 2020 ComEd entered a $200 million deferred prosecution agreement and implemented compliance reforms after the FBI’s bribery investigation.
