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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal, ruling that the lower court correctly found no risk of refoulement. The applicant argued for protection based on past persecution, but the court determined the evidence did not substantiate a well-founded fear of return to Italy. Consequently, the application for international protection was rejected as the statutory requirements for asylum were not met.
