Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under EU law.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal, ruling that the lower court correctly rejected the claim based on insufficient evidence of persecution. The applicant argued for protection in a specific country but failed to substantiate the risk of refoulement or individualized threats. Consequently, the court upheld the initial rejection, emphasizing the high burden of proof required for asylum recognition under Italian and EU regulations.
