"At one point, according to the report of the investigating judge, the agency became a kind of approved dealer in girls, operating with the connivance, if not the blessing, of the French foreign ministry and French secret services. By steering Middle East arms clients towards girls from a known, and closely watched, agency, there was thought to be a reduced risk of blackmail, or the leaking of secret negotiations."
So French intelligence was using them, at least here it says with Middle Eastern arms clients.
I think of the CIA's 'Operation Midnight Climax', which is known to have involved dosing unsuspecting johns with LSD in San Francisco whorehouses. Most focus on the LSD dosing, which was deplorable, but I've often thought, hmm, so the CIA was running bordellos.
