Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan dismissed dozens of police chiefs as he vowed to fight a corruption probe targeting his party, while the country’s top business group warned the dispute may destabilize the economy.
Istanbul’s top policeman, Huseyin Capkin, was among those dismissed yesterday, the state-run Anatolia news agency said. The firings came after police detained dozens of people, including the head of a state bank and the sons of three cabinet ministers, in an inquiry into graft.
