Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under Art. 3 ECHR.

The Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged a risk of torture in Italy. The applicant argued that Italian authorities would not protect him from persecution, but the court found no credible evidence supporting this claim. Consequently, the application was rejected because the applicant failed to meet the burden of proof required to establish a well-founded fear of persecution.
