BEIJING — Chinese leaders announced on Friday that Bo Xilai, a disgraced Communist Party aristocrat, had been expelled from the party and would be prosecuted on criminal charges, a move that effectively ends his remarkable political career.

Mr. Bo is accused, among other things, of playing some role in the murder of a British businessman by Mr. Bo’s wife and of taking “massive bribes” directly and through his family, according to Xinhua, the state news agency.

The Xinhua report also said the 18th Party Congress, an event climaxing China’s once-a-decade leadership transition, is scheduled to start on Nov. 8, a week after the start of a party planning session and two days after the American presidential election.
