Accusing Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) of flipping on its admission to the Feds that the utility benefitted more than $150 million as a result of its unlawful bribery of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, the lead attorneys with the Romanucci & Blandin and DiCello Levitt Gutzler law firms accused ComEd of “behaving with arrogance” and attempting to pick its own punishment.
They filed a Cook County class action lawsuit against ComEd and Exelon last year [2020] in an effort to recover damages they say were caused by ComEd’s admission of a bribery scheme.
