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

The Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by an applicant who could not substantiate claims of persecution. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to serious harm, but the domestic authorities found no credible evidence supporting this assertion. Consequently, the court ruled that the burden of proof was not met, leading to the rejection of the protection request.
