Thailand’s local government recruitment scandal has widened dramatically after People’s Party MP Pakamon Nunanan exposed what she calls a privileged quota for powerful families. She says politicians, governors and senior officials helped relatives and protégés secure jobs through manipulated scores, while others allegedly paid up to ฿700,000. Investigators have already identified 5,925 altered results, including 5,145 candidates who originally failed, while 3,404 appointments face cancellation. Five agencies are investigating, two DSI officials face scrutiny and financial transactions exceeding ฿300 million have emerged in Si Sa Ket. Now Pakamon is challenging Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul over a governor’s planned promotion to lead the Department of Lands, while promising further disclosures involving MPs.

People’s Party MP Pakamon Nunanan has opened a new front in Thailand’s massive local government recruitment scandal. She says powerful figures secured government jobs for relatives, protégés and close associates through manipulated examination scores. Crucially, she claims those favoured candidates avoided bribes allegedly demanded from ordinary participants. Their connections, rather than payments, allegedly secured their places.

The allegations concern a recruitment exercise already tainted by 5,925 altered examination results. Of those candidates, 5,145 had originally failed. Their marks were subsequently changed sufficiently to turn them into successful candidates. Another 774 had already passed before receiving further score increases. Six others failed to reach the final appointment stage.

Meanwhile, thousands of candidates had already entered government service before the manipulation was uncovered. Some 3,404 appointments were consequently earmarked for cancellation. Yet the scandal has moved far beyond correcting examination results. Investigators are now examining brokers, financial transactions, senior officials and possible links surrounding the operation.

Pakamon says powerful figures used a privileged quota to secure local government jobs for protégés

Against that backdrop, Ms Pakamon says another system operated alongside the alleged cash-for-jobs network. She described it as a quota for influential people’s children. Under that arrangement, selected candidates allegedly received assistance because of their family or political connections. Ordinary candidates, by contrast, allegedly faced demands ranging from ฿300,000 to ฿700,000.

According to Ms Pakamon, favoured candidates did not need to make those payments. Instead, their answer sheets or examination results were altered through connections with influential figures. She cited senior departmental officials and senior ministry officials among those capable of exerting influence. She also identified provincial governors, district officers and influential local figures.

In addition, Ms Pakamon said MPs from several major political parties were connected to beneficiaries. Some politicians allegedly arranged assistance for relatives, protégés or other people close to them. Notably, she said certain privileged candidates received larger score increases than candidates who allegedly paid bribes. She has promised further disclosures involving MPs.

Ms Pakamon made the allegations on September 6 while discussing senior appointments within the Ministry of Interior. She directly challenged Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who also serves as Minister of Interior. Specifically, she questioned whether officials connected to the examination controversy should continue receiving major promotions. Her challenge comes before important senior appointments expected within the ministry.

Pakamon challenges Anutin over governor’s planned promotion to lead the powerful Department of Lands

One appointment received particular attention. Ms Pakamon said a Nakhon Si Thammarat governor connected to cases she highlighted faces promotion in October. She said the official is due to become Director-General of the Department of Lands. The post places its holder at the head of one of the Interior Ministry’s most important departments.

The Department of Lands oversees land registration and title functions throughout Thailand. It therefore handles matters involving substantial property interests and complex land transactions. For that reason, Ms Pakamon linked the coming appointment directly to Mr Anutin’s stated anti-corruption position. She urged him not to promote people connected to the recruitment scandal.

“If the Prime Minister is sincere in his statement that anyone involved in this matter will be dealt with thoroughly, he must prove it by not granting high-ranking positions to those connected to this corrupt system. I will follow up and reveal more information about the MPs involved in arranging for students to take the entrance exams,” Ms Pakamon said.

Her challenge rests partly on two examination cases from Nakhon Si Thammarat. Both successful candidates reportedly shared the same surname as the provincial governor. According to Ms Pakamon, both recorded dramatic changes between their genuine and final examination scores. Their names later disappeared from the successful list.

Two candidates saw huge score increases before appointments were revoked in a second official review

In the first case category, their original Part A scores stood at around 30 points. Those marks were subsequently increased to between 70 and 80 points. Their Part B scores were originally around 50 points. Later, those results were increased to approximately 90 points.

As a result, both candidates qualified for appointments during the first round. The Department of Local Administration subsequently conducted another review. During that process, both names were revoked. The latest reports do not establish that the governor ordered the score changes.

Still, Ms Pakamon has placed the episode at the centre of her challenge over senior appointments. She questioned confidence in the ministry if people connected to such cases received further advancement. She also linked the matter to wider concerns about transparency inside the Interior Ministry. Those concerns extend beyond the Department of Local Administration.

Separately, Ms Pakamon referred to information concerning the Department of Provincial Administration. She said those transparency concerns had not been seriously investigated. She also accused the government of addressing individual examination results without reaching those behind the wider system. Her remarks focused on the structure surrounding the manipulation.

Probe found 5,925 manipulated exam results as thousands of compromised appointments are axed

The scale of the underlying recruitment exercise was enormous. Initially, 438,277 people applied for local government positions. Of those, 279,949 actually sat the examinations. Eventually, 55,193 candidates appeared on the original successful list. Subsequent checks then identified 5,925 manipulated results.

Most of those altered results involved candidates who had failed. In total, 5,145 failed candidates were converted into successful candidates through score changes. A further 774 had passed but received additional increases. Therefore, more than 86% of the manipulated cases involved candidates who originally failed.

In response, the government moved against appointments already made from the compromised results. Some 3,404 appointments were marked for cancellation. Information concerning all 5,925 cases was also forwarded to five investigative bodies. That referral widened the case beyond the Interior Ministry’s internal review.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission received the material. So did the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission. The Anti-Money Laundering Office was also brought into the investigation. In parallel, the police Counter Corruption Division received information concerning the cases. The Department of Special Investigation became the fifth agency involved.

Investigators trace who arranged altered scores as Pakamon points to patronage alongside cash payments

At issue now is who arranged the manipulation and who benefited from it. Investigators are examining candidates, suspected brokers and possible intermediaries. They are also following financial transactions surrounding payments for government positions. Ms Pakamon’s allegations add a separate trail based on patronage rather than money.

That distinction is significant to the emerging investigation. The existing corruption claims describe candidates paying large sums for positions. Ms Pakamon says another group received the same benefit without paying. Their alleged advantage came from political, bureaucratic or local influence.

Furthermore, her allegation can be examined against a defined pool of manipulated examination records. Investigators have 5,925 identified cases. They also have original and altered scores connected to those candidates. Those records can show precisely which candidates received extraordinary increases.

The Nakhon Si Thammarat examples illustrate the scale of some changes. Part A marks allegedly moved from around 30 to as high as 80. Part B marks allegedly rose from around 50 to approximately 90. These increases were sufficient to produce successful candidates.

Mayor Heng supplies financial evidence as local government exam investigation widens to DSI officials

Even so, altered scores alone do not identify who ordered individual changes. Investigators would need additional evidence establishing responsibility. Such evidence could include financial records, communications or witness testimony. Ms Pakamon’s allegations therefore identify potential beneficiaries rather than proving who arranged each intervention.

On another front, the scandal has expanded through evidence supplied by Prawit Jaruratchakul. He is widely known as “Mayor Heng”. Prawit formerly headed the Samrong Subdistrict Administrative Organisation in Si Sa Ket. He was also previously a Pheu Thai parliamentary candidate.

Police arrested Prawit on August 26. The case concerns accusations that money was solicited from candidates seeking local government civil service positions. He was subsequently released on bail. Prawit denies participating in the alleged recruitment cheating network.

A source close to Prawit has provided a different account. The source says Prawit became involved after a subordinate allegedly lost money to the network. The source also characterised his arrest as politically motivated. Police have rejected that interpretation and say their case is evidence-based.

Nevertheless, Prawit has since provided information concerning other figures. Counter Corruption Division investigators were due to receive further material from him on September 4. Police later changed the meeting location. The material reportedly included evidence concerning financial transactions involving two Department of Special Investigation officials.

Two DSI officials face scrutiny as witness and financial records enter widening examination investigation

As part of this, the records could potentially connect those officials with suspects already facing proceedings. Two suspects were identified as “Win” and Sgt Maj Pichit, also known as “Ja Pichit”. Both are held at Bangkok Remand Prison in connection with the examination case. Their suspected financial links remain under investigation.

Prawit also reportedly produced a key witness. The witness is said to have close knowledge of the two DSI officials. Additionally, the person could provide information about their alleged links with members of the network. One reported connection involves Sgt Maj Pichit.

The source said one DSI official had attended school with Pichit. Subsequently, the allegations reached the Justice Ministry. Justice Minister Police Lt Gen Rutthaphon Naowarat confirmed information implicating two DSI personnel. Serious disciplinary investigation proceedings were then being established.

No wrongdoing by those DSI officials has been established. Nonetheless, their inclusion widened the investigation beyond candidates, brokers and local government officials. Personnel from a major investigative agency were now being examined. The Justice Ministry’s disciplinary process formed a separate track from the police investigation.

Police examine top department figures but find no evidence linking a serving minister to the exam network

Earlier, investigators had already begun examining senior figures inside the Department of Local Administration. Police were looking at possible involvement concerning three people at director-general level. Those included two former directors-general and the then incumbent director-general. Investigators were still collecting evidence.

No finding of wrongdoing against those senior officials has yet been established, according to police sources. Even so, their examination showed how high investigators were looking inside the department. The probe was no longer confined to lower-ranking employees or outside brokers. Questions had reached the highest bureaucratic level within the agency.

More recently, another allegation pushed the political implications further. A source close to Prawit claimed the person ultimately behind the network outranked the department chief. The source further claimed that person holds a ministerial-level office in the current government. That assertion has not been independently confirmed.

Police have specifically addressed the claim. Counter Corruption Division investigators said they had already heard it during questioning. They then checked the information. However, officers said they found no evidence connecting a serving minister to the recruitment network.

Financial trail tops ฿300 million in Si Sa Ket as probe separates cash-for-jobs from privileged patronage

Accordingly, police characterised the claim as second-hand information. Investigators said it did not come from Prawit’s direct knowledge. No serving minister has therefore been established as participating in the examination operation. The claim remains unsupported by police evidence.

By comparison, the financial investigation rests on identified payments and transactions requiring further examination. In Si Sa Ket alone, material submitted to a parliamentary anti-corruption committee indicated transactions exceeding ฿300 million. Victims also described demands reaching ฿650,000 for individual government positions. Investigators are now tracing those movements of money.

Those figures fit within the wider payment range described by Ms Pakamon. She said ordinary participants faced demands between ฿300,000 and ฿700,000. Her alleged privileged group, however, supposedly avoided those payments entirely. Their scores were allegedly changed through influence instead.

This creates two distinct strands within the same examination scandal. One concerns candidates accused of buying positions through substantial payments. The other concerns candidates Ms Pakamon says received positions through powerful connections. Both strands ultimately depend on altered examination results already identified by the authorities.

Investigators examine brokers and DSI links as Pakamon demands action against those behind the exam system

Beyond that, investigators are examining the people who may have facilitated those changes. Suspected brokers form one level of the inquiry. Officials with access to the examination process form another. Senior departmental figures have also entered the investigation.

At the same time, financial connections involving two DSI officials are being examined. Prawit’s witness could provide additional information about those relationships. His financial material could also establish links between individuals already facing proceedings. The evidence remains subject to investigation.

More broadly, Ms Pakamon says the Interior Ministry should address those behind the system. She criticised any response limited to revoking compromised examination results. She also questioned whether senior personnel decisions could proceed while such allegations remained unresolved. Her immediate focus is the October Department of Lands appointment.

She further alleged that the examination corruption involved turnover reaching tens of billions of baht. That overall estimate has not been independently confirmed at this stage. However, the documented number of manipulated cases already reaches 5,925. Thousands of affected candidates had also obtained appointments.

Confirmed exam manipulation stands apart from claims involving political patrons and a minister mastermind

Notably, the established numbers separate the confirmed scandal from the wider political allegations. The manipulated results are documented. The 5,145 originally failed candidates are also documented. The 3,404 appointments earmarked for cancellation form another confirmed consequence.

By contrast, Ms Pakamon’s claims concerning political patrons remain accusations requiring investigation. The alleged ministerial mastermind is even less established. Police say they found no evidence supporting that claim. No minister has been identified by investigators as part of the network.

In the meantime, Ms Pakamon says she holds further information involving MPs. She says politicians from major parties arranged examination help for favoured candidates. She has promised to disclose more names. Those future claims would add another layer to the political inquiry.

The timing also places the scandal alongside important Interior Ministry personnel decisions. Mr Anutin controls those decisions as Minister of Interior while serving as Prime Minister. Ms Pakamon has therefore tied his anti-corruption statements directly to forthcoming appointments. Her principal demand concerns anyone connected to the examination system.

Five investigative agencies pursue money and senior figures as police reject unsupported ministerial claim

For now, investigators are following several lines at once. One involves the 5,925 manipulated results. Another involves money allegedly paid for local government jobs. A third involves brokers and suspected intermediaries.

In addition to those strands, investigators are examining senior Department of Local Administration figures. The Justice Ministry is separately moving against two DSI personnel through disciplinary proceedings. Prawit has produced financial material and a reported key witness. Ms Pakamon has added allegations of privileged patronage.

The most serious political claim remains the alleged involvement of a serving minister. Police say they investigated that assertion and found no supporting evidence. The statement came from a source close to Prawit rather than an established investigative finding. It therefore remains unsubstantiated.

The central documented facts are already substantial. More than 438,000 people applied for the recruitment process. Nearly 280,000 sat the examinations. Over 55,000 initially appeared among successful candidates.

Then came the review. It identified 5,925 altered results. Of those, 5,145 belonged to candidates who had originally failed. Another 774 successful candidates received further increases.

Thousands face cancellation as Pakamon points to privileged beneficiaries and political connections

Consequently, 3,404 appointments were placed in line for cancellation. Evidence involving all 5,925 cases went to five investigative agencies. Police are now examining money, intermediaries and senior figures surrounding the manipulation. The Justice Ministry is also pursuing its own disciplinary track.

Ms Pakamon has now added another question to that investigation. She says influence secured government positions for people who never paid the alleged bribes. Those beneficiaries included relatives and protégés of powerful figures, according to her account. She says MPs were also involved.

Her Nakhon Si Thammarat examples provide the clearest cases she has cited publicly. Two candidates allegedly saw Part A scores rise from around 30 to as much as 80. Their Part B marks allegedly moved from around 50 to approximately 90. Both secured first-round appointments before their names were revoked.

In turn, those cases have become central to her challenge over the Department of Lands appointment. She says the governor involved is due to become director-general in October. Sources have not yet established that the governor was directly linked to the anomalies. Ms Pakamon nevertheless says the connection requires scrutiny before promotion.

Anutin faces a challenge over senior appointments as the local government examination probe widens

Finally, she has put the issue directly to Mr Anutin. She says his stated anti-corruption position must be reflected in senior appointments. At the same time, she has promised further disclosures concerning MPs and favoured candidates.

The examination scandal has therefore expanded well beyond thousands of invalid scores. Investigators are now examining who paid, who collected, who altered results and who benefited. Separately, they are testing claims involving senior bureaucrats and political figures.

The ministerial allegation remains unsupported. The manipulated results do not. They involve 5,925 candidates, including 5,145 who originally failed.

Those established figures now form the backbone of a widening investigation. The next stage centres on the people, financial trails and political connections behind them.

在生活、媒体、政治、泰国

泰国地方政府招聘丑闻在人民党议员帕卡蒙·努纳南（Pakamon Nunanan）揭露她所谓的权贵家族特权配额后急剧扩大。她表示，政客、府尹和高级官员通过操纵分数帮助亲属和门生获得职位，还有人涉嫌支付高达70万泰铢的贿赂。调查人员已发现5925份被篡改的成绩，其中包括5145名原本未通过的候选人，另有3404个任命面临取消。五个机构正在进行调查，两名特别调查部（DSI）官员面临审查，在四色菊府（Si Sa Ket）还发现了超过3亿泰铢的金融交易。现在，帕卡蒙正就一名府尹计划晋升为土地厅厅长一事向总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔（Anutin Charnvirakul）提出质疑，并承诺将披露更多涉及议员的内幕。

人民党议员帕卡蒙·努纳南在泰国大规模地方政府招聘丑闻中开辟了新的战线。她表示，一些权势人物通过操纵考试成绩，为亲属、门生和亲密伙伴谋取政府职位。更重要的是，她声称这些受优待的候选人无需向普通考生支付贿赂。据称，他们靠的是人脉关系，而非金钱，才确保了他们的职位。

这些指控涉及一项已遭篡改的招聘活动，该活动共有5925份考试成绩被篡改。其中，5145名考生最初未通过考试，他们的分数随后被大幅修改，使他们最终通过。另有774名考生在分数进一步提高之前就已经通过考试。还有6名考生未能进入最终录用阶段。

与此同时，在舞弊行为被揭露之前，已有数千名考生进入政府部门工作。因此，约有3404个职位被列入取消名单。然而，这起丑闻远不止于修改考试成绩。调查人员目前正在调查中间人、金融交易、高级官员以及与此行动相关的其他人员。

帕卡蒙表示，一些有权势的人物利用特权配额为他们的亲信谋取地方政府职位。

在此背景下，帕卡蒙女士表示，除了所谓的“以钱换工作”网络之外，还有另一套体系在运作。她将其描述为“权贵子女配额制”。根据该安排，一些候选人因其家庭或政治关系而获得帮助。相比之下，普通候选人则面临着30万至70万泰铢不等的报酬要求。

帕卡蒙女士表示，受优待的考生无需支付任何费用。相反，他们的答卷或考试成绩是通过与有影响力的人物建立关系而被篡改的。她指出，一些高级部门官员和部委官员都具备施加影响的能力。她还提到了省长、区长和一些有影响力的当地人士。

此外，帕卡蒙女士表示，多个主要政党的议员与受益人存在关联。一些政客涉嫌为亲属、门生或其他关系密切的人安排援助。值得注意的是，她指出，某些享有特权的候选人获得的加分幅度甚至超过了涉嫌行贿的候选人。她承诺将进一步披露涉及议员的内幕。

帕卡蒙女士于9月6日在讨论内政部高层人事任命时提出了这些指控。她直接质问了兼任内政部长的总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔。具体而言，她质疑与考试丑闻有关的官员是否应该继续获得重大晋升。她的质询正值内政部即将进行重要高层人事任命之际。

帕卡蒙就州长计划提拔阿努廷领导权力强大的土地部一事向他提出质疑。

其中一项任命尤其引人关注。帕卡蒙女士表示，与她重点关注的案件有关的那空是贪玛叻府一位府尹将于10月晋升。她说，这位官员将出任土地厅厅长。该职位将使任职者执掌内政部最重要的部门之一。

泰国土地厅负责全国的土地登记和产权登记工作，因此处理涉及重大财产权益和复杂土地交易的事务。鉴于此，帕卡蒙女士将即将进行的任命与阿努廷先生公开的反腐败立场直接联系起来，并敦促他不要提拔与招聘丑闻有关的人员。

帕卡蒙女士表示：“如果首相真心实意地承诺会彻底处理此事，那么他就必须拿出实际行动来证明，绝不给与这个腐败体系有牵连的人授予高位。我会继续跟进，并披露更多关于参与安排学生参加入学考试的议员的信息。”

她的质疑部分源于那空是贪玛叻府的两起考试案例。据报道，这两名考生都与该府府尹同姓。帕卡蒙女士称，两人的原始考试成绩和最终成绩都出现了显著差异。之后，他们的名字从合格名单中消失了。

两名候选人在第二次正式审查中被撤销任命前，分数大幅提高

在第一类案例中，他们的A部分初始得分约为30分，后来提高到70至80分之间。他们的B部分初始得分约为50分，后来提高到约90分。

因此，两位候选人在第一轮遴选中获得任命资格。地方行政部门随后进行了第二次审查。在此过程中，两人的名字都被撤销了。最新报告并未证实州长下令更改评分。

尽管如此，帕卡蒙女士仍将此事作为她对高层人事任命提出质疑的核心。她质疑，如果与此类案件有关的人能够继续晋升，人们对内政部的信任度将会受到质疑。她还将此事与内政部内部更广泛的透明度问题联系起来。这些问题的影响范围远不止地方行政部门。

此外，帕卡蒙女士还提及了省行政部门的相关信息。她说，这些透明度问题并未得到认真调查。她还指责政府只关注个别考生的考试成绩，而没有追究整个系统背后的责任人。她的发言主要集中在操纵考试成绩的组织架构上。

调查发现5925份考试成绩被篡改，数千个受影响的预约被取消。

此次招聘规模极其庞大。最初，共有438,277人申请地方政府职位，其中279,949人实际参加了考试。最终，55,193名考生出现在最初的录取名单上。随后的核查发现，其中5,925份录取结果被篡改。

这些被篡改的结果大多涉及原本不及格的考生。总共有5145名不及格的考生通过分数修改变成了及格。另有774名考生原本及格，但分数被进一步提高。因此，超过86%的篡改案例涉及原本不及格的考生。

作为回应，政府对已根据舞弊结果作出的任命采取了行动。约3404项任命被标记为取消。所有5925起案件的信息也被移交给了五个调查机构。这一移交使得案件的调查范围超出了内政部的内部审查。

国家反腐败委员会收到了相关材料。公共部门反腐败委员会也收到了。反洗钱办公室也参与了调查。与此同时，警方反腐败部门也收到了有关案件的信息。特别调查局成为参与调查的第五个机构。

调查人员追踪篡改分数的幕后黑手，帕卡蒙指出，幕后黑手是金钱和金钱交易的受益者。

现在的问题是谁策划了这场操纵，以及谁从中获利。调查人员正在调查候选人、涉嫌掮客和可能的中间人。他们还在追踪与政府职位相关的资金交易。帕卡蒙女士的指控则揭示了一条基于裙带关系而非金钱的线索。

这一差异对正在进行的调查至关重要。现有的腐败指控描述的是候选人为获得职位而支付巨额款项。帕卡蒙女士表示，另一群人无需付费就获得了同样的利益。据称，他们的优势来自于政治、官僚或地方影响力。

此外，她的指控可以与一组已确定的篡改考试记录进行比对。调查人员已确认5925起此类案例，并掌握了与这些考生相关的原始成绩和篡改后的成绩。这些记录可以精确显示哪些考生的成绩获得了异常提高。

那空是贪玛叻府的例子说明了某些变化的幅度。据称，A部分的分数从30分左右提高到80分，B部分的分数从50分左右提高到90分左右。这些分数的提高足以产生合格的考生。

随着地方政府审查范围扩大至特务厅官员，市长王某提供财务证据。

即便如此，仅凭篡改分数并不能确定是谁下令进行这些更改。调查人员需要更多证据来确定责任人。这些证据可能包括财务记录、通信记录或证人证词。因此，帕卡蒙女士的指控主要指向潜在的受益人，而非证明是谁安排了每一次干预。

另一方面，丑闻因帕威·贾鲁拉查库尔提供的证据而进一步扩大。他广为人知的绰号是“亨市长”。帕威曾任四色菊府三隆分区行政机构负责人，也曾是为泰党国会候选人。

警方于8月26日逮捕了普拉维特。该案涉及他涉嫌向报考地方政府公务员职位的候选人索要钱财的指控。随后他被保释。普拉维特否认参与了所谓的招聘舞弊团伙。

一位与巴威关系密切的消息人士提供了不同的说法。该消息人士称，巴威的介入是因为一名下属据称在该组织蒙受了损失。该消息人士还认为巴威的被捕是出于政治动机。警方否认了这种说法，并表示他们的案件有证据支持。

然而，巴威后来又提供了其他相关人员的信息。反贪污调查部门原定于9月4日从他那里获取更多资料。警方后来更改了会面地点。据报道，这些资料包括涉及两名特别调查部官员的财务交易证据。

两名DSI官员面临审查，证人和财务记录被纳入扩大调查范围的调查之中。

作为调查的一部分，这些记录可能将这些官员与已受审的嫌疑人联系起来。两名嫌疑人已被确认为“Win”和军士长Pichit（又名“Ja Pichit”）。两人均因这起审查案件被关押在曼谷拘留所。他们涉嫌的财务联系仍在调查中。

据报道，普拉维特还提供了一名关键证人。据说该证人对这两名特案处官员非常了解。此外，此人还可以提供有关他们与犯罪团伙成员之间所谓联系的信息。据报道，其中一项联系涉及皮奇特军士长。

消息人士称，一名特别调查局（DSI）官员曾与皮奇特是校友。随后，这些指控传到了司法部。司法部长、警察中将鲁塔蓬·瑙瓦拉特证实了涉及两名特别调查局人员的信息。目前，相关部门已启动严肃的纪律调查程序。

目前尚未证实这些特别调查局官员有任何不当行为。然而，他们的介入使得调查范围扩大到候选人、中介和地方政府官员之外。一家主要调查机构的人员也开始接受调查。司法部的纪律处分程序与警方调查是两条独立的程序。

警方调查了高层官员，但没有发现任何证据表明在任部长与考试网络有关。

此前，调查人员已开始对地方行政部门的高层人物进行调查。警方正在调查三名局长级人员是否涉案，其中包括两名前局长和时任局长。调查人员仍在收集证据。

据警方消息人士透露，目前尚未发现这些高级官员有任何不当行为。即便如此，他们的调查也表明，调查人员对部门内部的调查范围已经非常广泛。调查不再局限于低级别员工或外部中介，而是触及了该机构的最高层官僚机构。

最近，另一项指控进一步加剧了此事的政治影响。一位与巴威关系密切的消息人士声称，幕后操纵该网络的人级别高于部门主管。该消息人士还声称，此人在现任政府中担任部长级职务。这一说法尚未得到独立证实。

警方已就此指控作出专门回应。反腐败部门调查人员表示，他们在讯问过程中已听闻此事，并随后核实了相关信息。然而，警方表示，他们并未发现任何证据表明在任部长与该招募网络有关。

四色菊府涉案金额超过3亿泰铢，调查显示，以金钱换取工作与特权庇护之间存在区别。

因此，警方将该说法定性为二手信息。调查人员表示，该信息并非来自巴威的直接知情。目前尚未证实有任何现任部长参与了此次调查行动。该说法仍缺乏警方证据支持。

相比之下，金融调查主要依据已查明的款项和交易，这些款项和交易仍需进一步审查。仅在四色菊府，提交给议会反腐败委员会的材料就显示，交易金额超过3亿泰铢。受害者还描述了有人索要高达65万泰铢的贿赂，以换取政府职位。调查人员目前正在追踪这些资金的流向。

这些数字符合帕卡蒙女士所描述的更广泛的支付范围。她说，普通参与者面临的付款要求在30万至70万泰铢之间。然而，她所称的特权群体却完全避免了这些付款。据称，他们的分数是通过影响力改变的。

这使得同一桩考试丑闻呈现出两个截然不同的线索。其中一条线索涉及被指控通过巨额贿赂购买考试资格的考生。另一条线索则涉及帕卡蒙女士所说的通过强大关系获得考试资格的考生。这两条线索最终都与当局已查明的篡改考试成绩有关。

调查人员正在调查中间人和DSI之间的联系，帕卡蒙要求对考试系统背后的操纵者采取行动。

除此之外，调查人员还在调查可能促成这些变动的人员。涉嫌的中间人是调查的一个层面，能够参与调查过程的官员是另一个层面，一些部门高层也已介入调查。

与此同时，警方正在调查两名特别调查局官员的财务关系。普拉维特的证人或许能提供有关这些关系的更多信息。他提供的财务资料也可能揭示一些已受审人员之间的关联。所有证据仍在调查之中。

更广泛地说，帕卡蒙女士表示，内政部应该追究系统背后的责任人。她批评任何仅限于撤销被篡改的考试成绩的回应。她还质疑，在这些指控尚未解决的情况下，高层人事决策是否可以继续进行。她目前的关注点是10月份的土地部人事任命。

她进一步指控考试舞弊涉及金额高达数百亿泰铢。目前，这一总额尚未得到独立证实。然而，已记录在案的舞弊案例已达5925起。数千名受影响的考生也因此获得了职位。

已证实的考试作弊行为与涉及政治庇护者和部长幕后主使的说法截然不同。

值得注意的是，已确认的数据将已证实的丑闻与更广泛的政治指控区分开来。操纵选举结果的行为已被记录在案。最初落选的5145名候选人也已被记录在案。另有3404个被列入取消名单的任命也已得到证实。

相比之下，帕卡蒙女士关于政治庇护者的指控仍属猜测，需要进一步调查。所谓幕后主使的身份更是无从考证。警方表示，他们没有找到任何证据支持这一说法。调查人员也尚未确认任何部长是该网络成员。

与此同时，帕卡蒙女士表示，她掌握着更多涉及国会议员的信息。她说，主要政党的政客们为一些受宠的候选人安排了考试帮助。她承诺会披露更多人的名字。这些未来的指控将使政治调查更加扑朔迷离。

丑闻曝光的时机恰逢内政部的重要人事任命。阿努廷先生在担任总理期间，作为内政部长掌握着这些任命的权力。因此，帕卡蒙女士将他的反腐声明与即将进行的任命直接挂钩。她的主要诉求涉及所有与考试制度有关的人员。

五家调查机构联手追查资金来源和高层人物，警方驳斥了部长提出的未经证实的说法。

目前，调查人员正在同时追踪多条线索。一条线索涉及5925份被篡改的选举结果。另一条线索涉及据称用金钱换取地方政府职位。第三条线索涉及掮客和疑似中间人。

除了上述线索外，调查人员还在调查地方行政部门的高级官员。司法部也正通过纪律处分程序单独对两名特别调查局（DSI）人员展开调查。巴威已提交财务材料和一名据称是关键的证人。帕卡蒙女士则提出了有关特权庇护的指控。

最严重的政治指控仍然是关于一位在任部长涉案的传闻。警方表示，他们已对此说法进行调查，但未发现任何佐证。该说法并非来自已确立的调查结果，而是来自一位与巴威关系密切的消息人士，因此仍未经证实。

核心的已记录事实已相当充分。超过43.8万人申请了此次招聘，近28万人参加了考试，超过5.5万人从最初的候选人中脱颖而出。

随后进行了复核。复核发现有5925份成绩被修改。其中，5145份成绩属于原本未通过考试的考生。另有774名原本通过考试的考生成绩得到进一步提高。

帕卡蒙指出受益人享有特权且与政治关系密切，导致数千人面临签证被取消的风险。

因此，3404个预约被列入取消名单。所有5925起案件的证据均已移交五个调查机构。警方正在调查涉案资金、中间人和相关高层人员。司法部也正在启动内部纪律处分程序。

帕卡蒙女士现在又为这项调查增添了一个新的问题。她说，有人利用影响力为那些从未支付过所谓贿赂的人谋取了政府职位。据她所述，这些受益者包括权势人物的亲属和门生。她还表示，一些议员也牵涉其中。

她举的洛坤府案例是她公开引用的最清晰的案例。据称，有两名考生的A部分分数从30分左右飙升至80分，B部分分数也从50分左右提高到90分左右。两人都在第一轮面试中获得了录用，之后他们的名字被撤销。

反过来，这些案件也成为她质疑土地部人事任命的核心。她说，涉事省长将于10月就任总干事。目前尚无消息证实该省长与这些违规行为有直接关联。但帕卡蒙女士表示，在晋升之前，必须对这种关联进行审查。

随着地方政府审查范围扩大，阿努廷在高级官员任命方面面临挑战。

最后，她直接向阿努廷先生提出了这个问题。她说，他所宣称的反腐败立场必须体现在高层人事任命上。同时，她承诺将进一步披露有关议员和受青睐候选人的信息。

因此，考试丑闻的影响范围早已远远超出数千份无效成绩。调查人员目前正在调查谁付了钱、谁收了钱、谁篡改了成绩以及谁从中获利。此外，他们还在调查涉及高级官员和政治人物的指控。

部长级指控仍未得到证实。但选举结果被篡改的说法却不成立。此次选举涉及5925名考生，其中5145人原本落选。

这些已确定的人物如今构成了这项不断扩大的调查的核心。下一阶段的重点将放在他们背后的人员、资金流向和政治关系上。
