Disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai will go on trial on Thursday, charged with bribery, corruption and abuse of power, according to state media.


Bo Xilai, formerly the Communist Party chief of Chongqing, was expelled from the party after a scandal surrounding the murder of a British businessman.


His wife Gu Kailai was jailed last August for the killing of Neil Heywood.


The Bo Xilai scandal rocked China with claims of corruption at the top of the Communist Party.


Mr Bo has been accused of taking advantage of his office to accept money and property, as well as embezzling public money.


The trial will start on Thursday morning at the Intermediate People's Court in the eastern city of Jinan, state-run news agency Xinhua said.
