Twelve people, including the former head of Istanbul's police intelligence unit, have been arrested as part of "parallel state" operations, an Istanbul court has said.
Five people detained during an Istanbul-based arrest operation which began earlier in the week in several Turkish cities were released, the court said on Saturday.
The court action follows two high-profile, Istanbul-based anti-graft operations which were launched in December last year and led to the arrest of high-profile figures including the sons of the three government ministers as well as several entrepreneurs.
All those detained in the probe were later released pending trial.
The Turkish government has denounced the December probes as a "dirty plot" constructed by a "parallel structure" group of bureaucrats embedded within the country's key institutions, including the judiciary and police.
