Police officers, who normally keep the details of legal investigations secret for the safety of the case, will now be forced to inform the chiefs of their units, according to a Judiciary Police Regulation amendment announced in the Official Gazette on Dec. 21.
..
After scores of suspects, including the sons of three ministers, a mayor and prominent businessmen, were detained over corruption and bribery allegation a week ago, the government criticized police officers and prosecutors for executing the investigation without informing their superiors.
...
A number of jurists argued that the amendments were a “clear violation” of judicial independence, the principle of the division of powers and the investigation secrecy clause of Code of Criminal Procedure (CMK) as they “put the jurisdiction under the executive’s tutelage.”

Instead of firing his ministers who clearly have taken bribes, the PM is turning on the police to punish them..
