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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that Italian authorities failed to provide adequate protection, while the state contended the fear was not well-founded. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, who failed to substantiate their claims with credible evidence.
