DHAKA: Turkish authorities have removed another 25 police chiefs from their posts, media reported.

It was a part of a widening a crackdown on the force since it launched a corruption investigation that prime minister Tayyip Erdogan has called a ‘dirty operation’ against his rule, reports The Jerusalem Post.

Erdogan accused ‘international groups’ and ‘dark alliances’ on Saturday of encouraging the graft investigations and signalled the purge of people behind it would continue.
