MILAN (Reuters) - The president of the company organising the Milan Expo has come under investigation for tax evasion and embezzlement, Milan prosecutors said on Friday, the latest embarrassment for the showcase of global culture and technology.

Prosecutors said they have completed an investigation into Diana Bracco, the president of Expo 2015 Spa, for issuing invoices for non-existent work connected with healthcare group Bracco, of which she is president and chief executive.
