Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under Art. 3 ECHR.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged a risk of torture upon return to his home country. The applicant argued that specific political persecution targeted him, but the court found no credible evidence supporting his fear of refoulement. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the burden of proof regarding the risk of ill-treatment was not met.
