CHICAGO — A former ComEd executive is receiving probation after pleading guilty to a corruption charge. Fidel Marquez was sentenced last week for his role in a bribery scheme meant to influence former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. Marquez was among those implicated when federal prosecutors charged the electric utility company with sending one-point-three-million-dollars to Madigan’s associates in hopes of landing his support for key legislation. Marquez agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in order to avoid prison time.
