Bo claims wearing 50-yr-old old underwear during trial

China's fallen communist party leader Bo Xilai, who is accused of leading a lavish lifestyle, today said he is a simple man and was wearing a 50-year-old underwear at his trial.
The high-profile Communist Party leader, while attempting to counter the charges of prosecution over his family's luxury lifestyle, said even at the trial he wore the long johns (underwear), was given by his mother about fifty years back.
"I am personally not interested in clothing. The long johns I am wearing now were bought for me by my mother in the 1960s," 64-year-old Bo said.
"I'm telling you all that the jacket I'm wearing, and the suits in my wardrobe, were all produced by a township enterprise in Xinjin county in Dalian."

Long johns are worn in China during winters.
Bo was sacked last year after charges came to the fore that his wife Gu was involved in the murder of a British businessman Neil Heywood in November 2011.
Though, Bo has claimed ignorance about dealings of Gu as allegations were levelled regarding his luxury lifestyle, prosecutors have provided details of his private jet flights, French Riviera villa and rare animal meats enjoyed by Bo and his family to the court.
