China's former Chongqing Municipality Communist Party Secretary Bo Xilai attends the closing session of the National Peoples Congress.
Wiretapping China's leader Hu Jintao, the murder of a British businessman and the spectacluar fall of one of China's most prominent political families — all just a part of Chinese politician Bo Xilai's fall from grace.
Allegedly, Xilai was involved in a widespread, sophisticated wiretapping operation to combat organized crime. He was once considered a rising leader in China's communist party, but now could be charged with treason. His wife, Gu Kailai, is being investigated for murder of British businessman Neil Heywood.
