Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant fails to prove well-founded fear of persecution in Italy.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who claimed persecution in Italy. The applicant argued that specific threats made by local authorities constituted a well-founded fear, but the court found no credible evidence supporting these assertions. Consequently, the court ruled that the domestic authorities correctly rejected the claim due to the lack of substantiation regarding the alleged risks.
