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

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning them would violate Article 3 of the ECHR due to threats against their life, but failed to provide credible evidence of specific threats or state complicity. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant to demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution, which was not met given the lack of corroborating documentation.
