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

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the interlocutory application regarding an asylum seeker's claim. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to persecution based on political opinion, while the state contended the evidence was insufficient to establish a well-founded fear. The court ruled that without credible and specific proof of targeted danger, the statutory requirement for granting asylum protection was not met.
