Turkey opens probe into all military judges, prosecutors

Turkey’s state-run news agency says the country’s defense ministry has sacked at least 262 military court judges and prosecutors.

Anadolu also says an investigation is launched Wednesday into all military judges and prosecutors as Turkish authorities continue with a crackdown on people suspected of backing a failed military coup, which the government has blamed on a US-based cleric

The government has already sacked tens thousands of judiciary officials, public servants and teachers as part of the crackdown.
