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.
