"ComEd bribery trial ends with guilty verdict for all defendants"
TL;DR
All four defendants in the "ComEd Four" trial, including former ComEd executives and lobbyists, were found guilty on nine different counts of conspiracy, bribery, and falsification of records. The trial presented evidence of a multi-year conspiracy to bribe then-Speaker Mike Madigan in exchange for legislation worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the utility. This is the largest public corruption trial in Illinois in decades and sets the stage for Madigan's own corruption trial in April 2024.
