In response to the complaint, Pol Capt Chanintuch reportedly admitted lying to Pol Capt Chanchai about being able to get him promoted. Pol Capt Chanintuch said he intended to spend the money he received from Pol Capt Chanchai on himself. Why was Pol Capt Chanchai so easily convinced that he would be able to buy his way up the ranks? He denied knowing any high-ranking police officer who could help Pol Capt Chanchai receive a promotion. The timing of the scandal was also humiliating as it came shortly after the police bluntly denied allegations of position buying in the force.
