JINAN. — The Jinan Intermediate People’s Court announced that the trial of bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power involving Bo Xilai adjourned yesterday and will resume today. The whole court investigation phase of this case was completed, the court said. Bo (64), is former secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and a former member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau.
At yesterday’s hearing, the prosecution and defence cross-examined the testimony that Wang Lijun, former vice mayor and police chief of Chongqing Municipality, gave at the court on Saturday afternoon on the charge of power abuse against Bo.
One of the charges against Bo is abusing his power when it was reported that his wife Bogu Kailai was suspected of intentional homicide and when his subordinate Wang Lijun defected.
The defendant and his lawyers held that there were doubts about the objectivity and authenticity of Wang’s testimony at the court. — Xinhua.
