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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by a foreign national who could not substantiate a well-founded fear of persecution in Italy. 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 protection requirements were not met, leading to the rejection of the claim.
