Large Medium SmallFriday's trial started at 8:39 am. Bo, 64, was former secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and former member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau.
During Thursday's trial, prosecutors said Bo accepted bribes worth about 21.79 million yuan (about $3.5 million) from businessmen Tang Xiaolin and Xu Ming and embezzled five million yuan of public funds from the Dalian government.

The court approved all applications by Bo, who was emotionally stable and physically healthy during the trial, to express his views.
