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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal, upholding the lower court's rejection of the claim. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to persecution, but the court found no credible evidence supporting this assertion. Consequently, the decision stands because the applicant failed to meet the burden of proof required to establish a well-founded fear of persecution.
