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 failed to substantiate claims of persecution. The applicant argued for protection based on specific personal circumstances, but the lower court found no credible evidence supporting a well-founded fear. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the rejection, emphasizing the high burden of proof required for asylum status under Italian law.
