Published January 13, 2015

Chinese authorities are expected to issue formal charges against ousted politician Bo Xilai as early as this week, according to a person familiar with the case, bringing the Communist Party leadership closer to the conclusion of an embarrassing political scandal.

Bo, the former party boss of the southwestern megacity of Chongqing, was expelled from the party in September and accused of massive corruption, illicit sexual affairs and abetting the cover-up of a murder of a British businessman by his wife.

The person said Wednesday that the investigation into Bo's case has been "making progress" and prosecutors in the eastern city of Jinan are likely to file an indictment against him that will be announced within days. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the case's high-profile, political nature.
