Italian Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding inadmissibility of asylum claim due to lack of jurisdiction.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the appeal against a lower court's decision to reject an asylum application. The applicant argued that the regional authority lacked jurisdiction to process the claim, while the opposing party maintained that the matter fell within the exclusive competence of the national asylum office. The court ruled that the lower court correctly applied the statutory allocation of powers, thereby upholding the rejection of the asylum request.
