Prostitutes in Cannes or the thousands of them who descend on the city each year during the Cannes Film Festival, can apparently make up to 40,000 dollars in a single night.
In an extensive expose, The Hollywood Reporter interviewed Elie Nahas, the person accused of running a prostitution ring that supplied women to Muammar Gaddafi's son, Moatessem, in Cannes in 2007, Fox News reported.
Even though Nahas alleged that he was not guilty, he told the magazine that the call girls in Cannes can make "up to 40,000 dollars a night".
He also asserted that the Arabs are the most generous people in the world and while visiting the French city they carry money around in wads of 10,000 euros and they don't even bother to count it.
Prostitutes also asserted to the publication that lots of deals are made in parks and hotel lobbies, where men use hand signals to discuss prices and tell their room number.
During his court trial, prosecutors alleged that the inquiry, which consisted of wire taps on Nahas and many of his associates, concluded that young women, including models, beauty queens, and escorts, were flown in from all over the world and stationed on yachts moored in the Mediterranean.
Men, mostly from the Middle East, then presented "gifts" worth thousands and thousands of euros to have sex with them.
