  QCD monopoles are magnetically charged quasiparticles whose Bose-Einstein
condensation (BEC) at $T<T_c$ creates electric confinement and flux tubes. The
"magnetic scenario" of QCD proposes that scattering on the non-condensed
component of the monopole ensemble at $T>T_c$ is responsible for the unusual
kinetic properties of QGP. In this paper, we study the contribution of the
monopoles to jet quenching phenomenon, using the BDMPS framework and
hydrodynamic backgrounds. In the lowest order for cross sections, we calculate
the nuclear modification factor, $R_\text{AA},$ and azimuthal anisotropy,
$v_2$, of jets, as well as the dijet asymmetry, $A_j$, and compare those to the
available data. We find relatively good agreement with experiment when using
realistic hydrodynamic backgrounds. In addition, we find that event-by-event
fluctuations are not necessary to reproduce $R_\text{AA}$ and $v_2$ data, but
play a role in $A_j$. Since the monopole-induced effects are maximal at
$T\approx T_c$, we predict that their role should be significantly larger,
relative to quarks and gluons, at lower RHIC energies.
