Italian Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding inadmissibility of asylum claim due to lack of jurisdiction.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the appeal against a lower court's decision to reject an asylum application. The applicant argued that the regional authority lacked jurisdiction to process the claim, while the opposing party maintained that the matter fell within the specific competence of the local office. The court ruled that the initial rejection was procedurally correct because the applicant failed to exhaust the necessary administrative remedies before seeking judicial review.
