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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant who alleged persecution based on political opinion. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to severe threats, but the court found no credible evidence supporting these claims. Consequently, the court ruled that the domestic authorities correctly rejected the request due to the lack of substantiation for the alleged fear of persecution.
