Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under EU law.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by an applicant who could not substantiate a risk of persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning to their nation would expose them to severe human rights violations, but the court found no credible evidence supporting these claims. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory requirements for granting asylum protection were not met due to the lack of proof regarding non-refoulement.
