Hackers of the RedHack group have published documents concerning the candidacy of Egemen Bağış, current minister for EU Affairs and chief negotiator, for the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. 

The hacktivists have posted a total of 18 documents on the TOR network. They say 18 documents per day will be made available over the upcoming period.

On their website, the hackers provide explanations for the leaked documents. For instance, one of them shows the things the official had ordered while staying at the London Hilton on Park Lane Hotel.

The files also contain information on Egemen Bağış’ income, communications with foreign officials, daily activities, and official meetings.

Earlier this week, RedHack announced teaming up with Anonymous for massive real world protests scheduled to take place on November 5. The campaign is dubbed Operation Direnis.
