Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove well-founded fear of persecution in Italy.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that Italian authorities failed to provide adequate protection, while the state contended the fear was not well-founded. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant to demonstrate a credible risk of persecution, which was not met.
