Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove well-founded fear of persecution.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant who alleged persecution based on political opinion. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to severe threats, while the opposing party contended the evidence lacked credibility and did not meet the threshold for a well-founded fear. The court ruled that the applicant failed to substantiate their claims with sufficient proof, leading to the rejection of the request for international protection.
