Italian Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding inadmissibility of foreign criminal record certificate in asylum proceedings.

The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal lodged by the applicant against the inadmissibility of a foreign criminal record certificate submitted during asylum proceedings. The applicant argued that the document was essential to prove the grounds for protection, while the lower court deemed it procedurally irrelevant. The Supreme Court ruled that the certificate was admissible as it directly pertained to the substantive assessment of the asylum claim, thereby overturning the lower court's exclusion.
