Is this good news? By all accounts this seems to as much a purging of political enemies by the new leaders and them cementing their grip on power as anything to do with corruption.
I'm also fairly amused at some comments here being critical of the manner in which the changes are happening. An autocratic monarchy is not going to change via committee meetings, legislative votes, or reasoned judicial orders -- not significantly at least.
Moving toward more moderate policies or even further to a constitutional monarchy is going to come from the use of brute force.
