"signs are that the very top of the party has agreed that Mr. Bo will be formally charged, with a report expected by July, party insiders now say. 'The lower levels of the party still have to figure out exactly what the charges and details look like, but the leadership agrees on how his case should be handled,' said a senior party member in the party’s organization department.
