According to the Mail, journalists discovered the teen’s name on Albanian police files, with authorities suspecting his family deliberately sent him abroad to earn cash.
The family said that “99 percent” of Albanian teens who leave the country do so in search of a better life promised by “traffickers”.
Florjan said many of his school friends had “already gone to England to find work”, and he followed suit.
After arriving in the UK via a crammed dinghy from Dunkirk, he said he told police he was “not claiming asylum” and wanted a “proper education and earn the kind of money that is impossible in Albania”.
