Erdogan Removes Police Probing Turkey Graft as Opponents Protest - Bloomberg:
"Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government transferred police chiefs involved in a corruption probe, as opposition lawmakers accused it of seeking to bury the case.
Four cabinet ministers are implicated in the investigation into alleged graft, bribery and money laundering, Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc told reporters in Ankara late yesterday. He said the number of prosecutors has been doubled to four to speed up the probe, while some police chiefs who took part without informing superiors were removed for abuse of power.
Hurriyet newspaper said 29 police officials in Istanbul and Ankara were moved to other posts, and Erdogan said the changes may extend to other provinces. Three ministers’ sons are among 84 people detained in the probe so far, Hurriyet said."
