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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the applicant's appeal against the rejection of their asylum request. The applicant argued they faced persecution in their home country, but the lower court found no credible evidence of a well-founded fear of persecution within Italy. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the decision, ruling that the applicant did not meet the statutory requirements for international protection.
