Fancy moving to the Med?

    A luxurious villa linked to disgraced former Chinese political heavyweight Bo Xilai has gone on sale for nearly €7 million in France, state media reported Monday.
    The bougainvillea-clad mansion, situated in one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in the French Riviera resort of Cannes, emerged as a key exhibit in the corruption case against Bo, who was sentenced to life in prison last year.
    The former Communist Party rising star was accused of accepting the property as a gift from a businessman.
    Nestled on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean, the six-bedroom villa has been put on sale by real estate firm Fine & Country for €6.95 million ($7.9 million), the Chinese edition of the Global Times newspaper reported on Monday. Report in the Local.
