The Ministry of Interior has issued a statement regarding Anastasia Melega, who was found dead at Prenses Nightclub, clarifying that she had previously worked at Lipstick Nightclub with a valid work permit before moving to Prenses Nightclub under a "preliminary authorization" status, with her legal procedures still in progress.

- December 28, 2023 – March 27, 2024: Returned to Lipstick Nightclub under the same status, with social security contributions duly made.
- February 14, 2025: Entered the TRNC to work at Prenses Nightclub as a "hostess" under "preliminary authorization," with social security and work permit processes still ongoing at the time of her death.
