Disgraced Chinese politician points finger at wife

Disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai told a court his wife stole government funds without his involvement and revealed how the couple became estranged after he had been unfaithful, offering a glimpse in his politically charged trial of the unraveling of one of China’s elite families.

Bo also mocked as implausible a former city official’s testimony that Bo had facilitated the embezzlement of 5 million yuan (€598,000) with a phone call to his wife, while expressing remorse that he had not acted to stop the misconduct.
