The trial of disgraced politician Bo Xilai will likely begin in secret on Wednesday, sources say. Bo's public trial will likely begin on Thursday, but officials will reportedly commence the trial on Wednesday behind closed doors due the sensitive nature of the charges related to flouting the authority of the central government.
Bo Xilai has been charged with abuse of power, corruption, and involvement in the murder of British business man Neil Heywood. The charges stem from his term of office as Chongqing's Party Secretary and member of the Central Poliburo from 2007-2012.
