Former Democratic state Rep. Eddie Acevedo is scheduled Wednesday to be the first person sentenced on charges stemming from the wide-ranging Commonwealth Edison bribery probe.
But not a word about ComEd is expected to be uttered at Acevedo’s hearing. There won’t be any mention of bribes, or former House Speaker Michal Madigan, for that matter.
Though minor in scope, the case against Acevedo arose from the ongoing investigation involving an alleged scheme by ComEd to bribe Madigan to assist the utility with legislation it wanted in Springfield.he’d been interviewed by federal investigators as part of that probe. His plea agreement with the government did not contain any indication that he’d agreed to cooperate.
Federal authorities subpoenaed the secretary of state in 2019 for Acevedo’s lobbying records, as well as those of his two sons and their lobbying firm, Apex Strategy LLC. Acevedo was also named in a grand jury subpoena served on Madigan’s office in July 2020. “However, when Acevedo’s truthful responses did not seem to align with what the government sought to hear, the IRS agent pivoted and began asking Mr. Acevedo questions about his 2016 and 2018 tax returns,” Meza wrote in the motion.
