The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) will partner with the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to investigate financial transactions in the Local Administration Department (LAD) recruitment exam fraud, involving an estimated 4.5 billion baht in bribes.
The scandal centers on an exam taken by over 100,000 people for just 6,600 civil service vacancies, organized by Srinakharinwirot University.
A former university dean questioned the LAD's transparency regarding contract terms and computer file handling, suggesting LAD officials are responsible for score changes.
An arrest warrant has been issued for a sub-district mayor for alleged involvement in demanding bribes from exam attendees.
