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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal, ruling that the domestic courts correctly rejected the claim based on insufficient evidence of persecution. The applicant argued for protection in Italy, but the lower courts found no credible threat against them. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the decision, emphasizing the high threshold required to establish a well-founded fear of persecution.
