Two apartments in Minsk were purchased in the name of missing former Coordination Council speaker Anzhalika Melnikava in September 2025 and January 2026, according to Zerkalo, citing official documents obtained by the редакция. The outlet said the documents had been verified as authentic but were not being published for security reasons.
According to the documents, six months after her disappearance, in September 2025, Anzhalika Melnikava became the owner of a 33.8-square-metre apartment on Lyubimov Avenue. Similar apartments in that area cost between 208,000 and 240,000 Belarusian roubles, equivalent to $71,000-$82,000.
In January 2026, another apartment was purchased and registered in Melnikava’s name — a 91.8-square-metre one-bedroom apartment on Petra Mstsislavets Street in the Mayak Minska residential complex. A four-room apartment of similar size in that area is currently listed for 1.1 million Belarusian roubles, equivalent to $400,000. A three-room apartment costs 643,000 Belarusian roubles, or $219,000, while a two-room apartment is listed at 572,000 Belarusian roubles, or $195,000.
Since 2016, Melnikava had been registered in and co-owned another apartment in Minsk with her husband. In April 2024, the apartment was searched. In May of the same year, it was seized after the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against 257 participants in the Coordination Council elections.
According to the outlet, the seizure of that apartment was lifted in February 2026 by a decision of the Investigative Committee. A month later, the apartment became Melnikava’s sole property. The basis for this was an agreement on the division of jointly owned marital property, which is usually concluded during divorce proceedings.

Anzhalika Melnikava, the former speaker of the Coordination Council, disappeared on February 26, 2025. Officially, she flew to London, but in reality her route went through Sri Lanka to Dubai, where her trail was ultimately lost. Documents belonging to the Coordination Council were later downloaded from her account, and about $150,000 disappeared from the account of the Poland-based Belarus Liberty Foundation, which she managed in the interests of the Cyber Partisans.
Investigators have also reported possible links between Melnikava and Belarusian KGB officer Aliaksei Labeyeu. Back in 2022, she allegedly failed her first polygraph test conducted by the BYPOL initiative, although she was accepted after a second test.
A reward of 10,000 euros has been offered for information about Melnikava’s whereabouts.
The Polish prosecution service is treating the former Coordination Council speaker, who disappeared a year ago, as a victim and is investigating the circumstances of her departure from Poland. According to the head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, Pavel Latushka, her children are currently in Belarus, but she is not with them.
In March 2026, photos of a woman resembling Melnikava taken in a gym in Minsk appeared online. Anzhalika’s father told journalists by phone that she had “been in Belarus for quite some time”.
