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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's request for protection against deportation. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to persecution based on their political opinions, but the court found no credible evidence supporting this fear. Consequently, the court ruled that the domestic authorities correctly rejected the claim due to the lack of substantiation regarding the risk of harm.
