Asian-Pacific benchmarks finished deeply in the red Tuesday, pressured by selling of Internet-related, real estate and brokerage issues. The decline started as Japan’s authorities began a probe of Internet portal Livedoor Co. The Nikkei tumbled 2.8% to 15,805.95. South Korea’s Kospi slid 2.3%, followed by Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, down 1.4%. Shanghai Composite was the only gainer with an advance of 0.5%.
