The verdict in the case of disgraced former top Chinese politician Bo Xilai will be announced on Sunday, the Jinan court in Shandong province says.

The notice was made on the court's official weibo account, the Chinese version of Twitter, on Wednesday.

Mr Bo was charged with abuse of power, corruption and bribery.

The former Chongqing leader and Communist Party official denied the charges in a trial last month that captivated people in China.

Mr Bo, 64, was a member of the powerful politburo - one of the 25 most senior party officials in the country - before he was brought down by one of the biggest scandals to rock China in years.

He was tried in Jinan city for five days starting on 22 August.

"The Jinan Intermediate People's Court will openly announce its verdict on the Bo Xilai bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power case on September 22, 2013 at 10 am [02:00GMT]," the court said on its official Sina weibo account.

The scandal was triggered by the flight of Mr Bo's former police chief in Chongqing, Wang Lijun, who in February 2012 spent a day at the US consulate in Chengdu.

Wang, who has since been jailed for 15 years, triggered an investigation into the murder of UK businessman Neil Heywood.

Mr Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, has since been convicted of the killing and given a suspended death sentence.
