Former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore  Sentenced to 24 Months, $750K Fine in Bribery Scandal

COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, JUL 21 – Anne Pramaggiore was fined $750,000 for a bribery scheme that paid $1.3 million to political allies to secure legislation benefiting ComEd, prosecutors said.

  • In a Chicago federal courtroom on Monday, U.S. District Judge Manish Shah sentenced Anne Pramaggiore to two years in prison and a $750,000 fine.
  • In May 2023, a jury convicted Anne Pramaggiore and three co-defendants of conspiracy, bribery, and falsifying records under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, revealing a decade-long scheme funding $1.3 million to Madigan allies.
  • Recorded conversations showed `you take good care of me and, and so does our friend`, trial testimony revealed, captured on Feb. 18, 2019, with Fidel Marquez agreeing to wear a wire for the FBI.
  • The sentence, two years, falls far short of the nearly six years prosecutors sought, despite her conviction for conspiracy and record falsification.
  • Next month, Pramaggiore is scheduled to report to prison on Dec. 1, while Doherty faces sentencing on Aug. 5.
