Then Chongqing Municipality Communist Party Secretary Bo Xilai listens to Chongqing's Mayor Huang Qifan (not pictured) during a meeting at the annual session of China's parliament, the National People's Congress, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, in this file picture taken March 6, 2010.
Prosecutors in the eastern city of Jinan in Shandong province indicted Bo on the charges on Thursday, Xinhua said.
Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, and his former police chief, Wang Lijun, have both been jailed over the scandal stemming from the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood.
The government in September last year accused Bo of corruption and of bending the law to hush up that murder.
