“Gangs Thrived Because Past Leaders Protected Them” — President Muizzu Vows to End the Cycle

On 25 May 2025 at the President's Office, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu ratified the Prevention of Gang and Other Serious Offences Act, saying gang crimes persisted for years because politicians appeased gangs for personal gain. The Act introduces judicial identification of gangs, asset confiscation, criminalisation of financial support to gangs, covert operations, youth prevention measures and electronic tagging, with the president stressing rehabilitation over condemnation.
