If they like you, they will give you a lot of money. To them, it's just like paper,' he explained. They'll just hand it to the girls without thinking. Mr Nahas, who owns a Beirut-based modeling agency and used to work as a right-hand man for Moatessem Gadhafi, the son of Muammar Gadhafi , who were both killed in Libya in , denies he was running a prostitution ring.
However, he explained: 'I know the system. The more experienced escorts, he said, target Cannes' high-end hotels 'where all the Arabs stay,' and where, after 10pm, call girls perch in the lobby waiting for prospective clients to check them out. But the luxury yachts, which house some of the world's wealthiest men - many single, some married - is where the serious money is, Mr Nahas said.

The girls are all waiting for their envelopes at the end of the night. It's been going on there for 60 years. But it's not all luxury yachts and high-end hotels. But no matter what a prostitutes' status, the Cannes Film Festival is 'the biggest payday of the year,' according to one Parisian escort.
