According to the group, on March 24, 2025, a transfer was made from the account of the NGO Belarus Liberty via Melnikava’s personal account to the Lithuanian crypto exchange UAB ONLYCHAIN FINTECH LIMITED. The transfer could have been carried out by Melnikava herself or by someone with access to her accounts.
Cyber Partisans said that the investigation into Melnikava’s disappearance is ongoing, but that they cannot publish all the information they have.
The disappearance of Coordination Council spokesperson Anzhalika Melnikava was publicly announced on March 28. Her whereabouts remain unknown. According to the Polish outlet Polityka, Melnikava flew from London to Sri Lanka with her two daughters on February 28 and stayed there until March 7, after which they flew to Dubai.
