US government wants former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan to pay $3.1M in restitution

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The U.S. government is seeking more than $3.1 million from former Illinois house speaker Michael Madigan.

Madigan was convicted by a jury last month on 10 counts of bribery, conspiracy and wire fraud charges.

Now, the acting U.S. attorney for the northern district of Illinois is seeking the amount of money ComEd paid to Madigan's associates as so-called subcontractors.

The jury's verdict found those payments were bribes.

Also Friday, lawyers for Madigan submitted a request for an acquittal or a new trial in his corruption case.

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.
