RaajjeMV understands that eight of the nine have now been registered under the program and are being tracked, but the police have refused to comment on the matter.

The nine individuals affiliated with four different local street gangs. The Housing Ministry approved their names for their Monitor and Control (Monicon) program on October 1st. Earlier this year, it had revealed that another 16 individuals had Monicon orders issues on them and are to be tracked and watched under the program.

The program was founded in 2016 and the first Monicon orders were issued in May. It is especially aimed at thwarting organized crimes and the orders are commonly issued on individuals with criminal records or are affiliated with criminal organizations.
