A 鈥榮imple man鈥 with old underwear ...
Print Edition
Fallen Party official Bo Xilai attempted to counter accounts of his family’s luxurious lifestyle yesterday by telling his corruption trial that his underwear was five decades old.
Prosecutors at the hearings in Jinan have provided riveting details of private jet flights, French Riviera villa and rare meats enjoyed by Bo and his family, courtesy of wealthy businessmen.
But the former boss of the southwestern megacity of Chongqing — who always appeared well-dressed in his heyday — hit back, telling the court he was a simple man.
“I am personally not interested in clothing. The long johns I am wearing now were bought for me by my mother in the 1960s,” Bo told the court.
“I’m telling you all that the jacket I’m wearing, and the suits in my wardrobe, were all produced by a township enterprise in Xinjin County in Dalian.”
The comments appeared in regular but delayed transcripts of the proceedings posted by the Intermediate People’s Court in Jinan on its verified account on Sina Weibo.
Bo has claimed ignorance of the dealings of his wife Bogu Kailai and son Bo Guagua as a string of allegations were made about his family’s allegedly opulent lifestyle.
