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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal, ruling that the lower court correctly rejected the claim based on insufficient evidence of persecution. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to serious harm, but failed to provide concrete proof of specific threats or state complicity. Consequently, the court upheld the decision that the applicant did not meet the legal threshold for international protection.
