Officials Refer 5,925 Cases to Five Agencies for Criminal Investigation

The Department of Local Administration has advanced its anti-corruption measures by submitting the names and information of 5,925 people found to have inflated scores to five cooperating agencies for further investigation and prosecution. These agencies include the National Anti-Corruption Commission, the Office of the Ombudsman, the National Police, the Special Cases Investigation Division, and the Department of Special Investigation. Each will examine the data within their jurisdiction, investigating fraud, criminal offenses, and financial trails according to their authority and procedures. Deputy Interior Minister Vorasit Liangprasithi stated that this action represents a critical step beyond score correction, requiring the Interior Ministry to ensure all corruption-related facts enter the legal review process of competent authorities. He stressed that restoring fairness to honest test-takers must go hand-in-hand with investigating those who damaged the examination system. The 5,925 cases have now been submitted to all five agencies, whose investigations and prosecutions will proceed according to their respective mandates and processes. Vorasit added that the data submission follows an inter-agency cooperation framework to ensure thorough and just investigation, with the Interior Ministry providing full support to the responsible agencies. He concluded that the matter must be clear: honest people deserve justice, while corruption must be investigated by law. The solution is not confined to score adjustment but requires pursuing the facts and enabling lawful authorities to proceed fully.
