Disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai has denied one of the bribery allegations against him, as he went on trial in Jinan.
The former Chongqing Communist Party leader is accused of accepting money from two businessmen, the court said.
He also faces charges of corruption and abuse of power, the latter relating to his wife's role in the murder of a British businessman, the court said.
Mr Bo's trial is China's most politically-charged in decades.
Two years ago the 64-year-old high-flier was seen as a candidate for promotion to the Politburo Standing Committee, China's seven-member top decision-making body.
But in February 2012, as China prepared for its once-in-a-decade leadership handover, questions emerged over the death of the British businessman, Neil Heywood.
Mr Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, has since been convicted of Mr Heywood's murder. Mr Bo faces multiple charges and is widely expected to be found guilty.
His downfall was seen as the biggest political shake-up to hit China's ruling elite in decades.
