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

The Italian Supreme Court dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution based on political opinion. The applicant argued that Italian authorities failed to investigate credible threats from the applicant's home country, while the opposing party contended the evidence was insufficient to establish a well-founded fear. The court ruled that the burden of proof remained on the applicant, whose claims lacked corroborating documentation to meet the statutory threshold for protection.
