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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution based on political opinion. The applicant argued that Italian authorities failed to adequately assess the risk of return to their home country. The court ruled that the domestic asylum procedure was correctly conducted and the applicant did not meet the statutory threshold for protection. Consequently, the claim was rejected due to insufficient evidence of a well-founded fear of persecution.
