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 Italian authorities failed to adequately assess the risk of return to their home country. The court ruled that the domestic administrative decision was correct because the applicant did not provide sufficient evidence to substantiate the claim of a well-founded fear of persecution.
