The Thailand National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has launched an investigation into local government official examination fraud involving over 1,000 million baht. 

NACC Secretary-General Surapong Intharathavorn indicated that the commission is recalling previous case files from 2021 to conduct a special joint investigation, as evidence suggests a coordinated effort by a specific group. The NACC is working with the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to trace financial trails. The investigation involves reviewing over 800,000 pages of documents, and the commission aims to reach a conclusion within six months using increased technological assistance.
