Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum appeal where applicant failed to prove well-founded fear of persecution.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal against the rejection of their protection status. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to persecution based on their political opinions, but the court found no credible evidence supporting this claim. Consequently, the lower court's decision to deny protection was upheld due to the lack of substantiation for the alleged fear.
