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 lower court correctly rejected the claim due to insufficient evidence of persecution. The applicant argued for protection based on past discrimination, but failed to demonstrate a well-founded fear of future harm in Italy. Consequently, the court upheld the decision to deny the residence permit and deportation order.
