Teenage Chinese boy stowed away in an Emirates flight to Dubai - he wanted to become a beggar

This is the true story of a Chinese teenager who wanted to make a living as a beggar in Dubai - he had heard that beggars there can earn up to £49,465 a month. Therefore, he sneaked into the baggage hold of an Emirates Flight EK303 from Shanghai and landed up in Dubai.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 31 May 2016.

The boy was under an impression that, it would not matter if he was caught by the police because he was underage. In fact, he had heard that prisoners get good treatment in Dubai. Anyway, as per the lawyers, he is not likely to be prosecuted but there would be an investigation and he would be deported.
Once he goes back to China, he will be blacklisted from Dubai for life. He is, at present, detained by Dubai Airport Police pending further investigation.
