Fourteen heads of police departments were discharged today as the government fights back against a major corruption probe that has targeted people close to the administration, a day after the Istanbul police chief and 18 others were dismissed.

National police authorities have named replacements for the demoted officers.

The moves include changes to the Terrorism Department and the Smuggling and Organized Crime Department.
