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 due to insufficient evidence of persecution. The applicant argued for protection based on political opinion but failed to demonstrate a credible risk of refoulement to their home country. Consequently, the court upheld the decision that the statutory requirements for granting asylum were not met.
