A Chinese court on Oct. 25 will announce its decision on former Politburo member Bo Xilai’s appeal of his life sentence for corruption, abuse of power and bribery, the court said on its website yesterday.
Bo, 64, was found guilty last month of taking 20.4 million yuan ($3.35 million) in bribes, embezzling 5 million yuan and abusing his power. He received a life term in prison, the harshest sentence meted out to a former or sitting member of the elite Communist Party Politburo in three decades.
