Italian Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding inadmissibility of asylum claim due to lack of jurisdiction.

The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal against a lower court's decision to reject an asylum application. The applicant argued that the regional authority lacked jurisdiction to process the claim, while the opposing party maintained that the regional office had the statutory power to handle the initial assessment. The court ruled that the lower court correctly applied the law by finding the applicant failed to exhaust the necessary administrative remedies before seeking judicial review.
