Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove credible fear of persecution in Italy.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal, ruling that the initial lower court correctly rejected the claim due to insufficient evidence of persecution. The applicant argued for protection based on past discrimination, but failed to demonstrate a well-founded fear of returning to Italy. Consequently, the court upheld the decision that the applicant did not meet the statutory requirements for asylum.
