Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove well-founded fear of persecution.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by a foreign national who could not substantiate claims of persecution. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to serious harm, but the court found no credible evidence supporting this assertion. Consequently, the court ruled that the domestic authorities correctly rejected the request due to the lack of proof regarding a well-founded fear of persecution.
