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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the interlocutory order regarding the asylum application filed by the applicant. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to persecution based on their political opinions, while the state contended the evidence was insufficient to establish a well-founded fear. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, who failed to provide credible documentation or testimony supporting their claim.
