The trial has begun in secret of the the former police chief at the heart of China's biggest political scandal in years, lawyers say.
Wang Lijun is charged with defection, abuse of power and bribe-taking.
He triggered events leading to the downfall of powerful politician Bo Xilai when he briefly fled to a US consulate in February.
Mr Bo's wife has since been given a suspended death sentence for the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood.
The trial had been expected to start in Chengdu on Tuesday, but Mr Wang's lawyer Wang Yuncai said the hearing had started earlier on Monday.
"The trial started at 8.30 this morning and finished at about noon," Ms Wang, who is no relation to her client, was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph newspaper.
"The trial has two parts, private and public. Today is the private part because it involves state secrets - it was about the two charges of defection and bending the law for his own ends."
