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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning them would violate non-refoulement principles, but the court found no credible evidence of specific threats or state-sponsored persecution. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the applicant did not meet the substantive requirements for international protection under Italian and EU law.
