Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant fails to prove well-founded fear of persecution in Italy.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that Italian authorities would not protect them due to specific threats, but failed to provide credible evidence of a well-founded fear. The court ruled that without substantiated proof of individualized risk, the statutory requirement for asylum protection was not met.
