A Los Angeles County District Attorney will have to decide if < ">Mel Gibson's ex < ">Oksana Grigorieva should face criminal extortion charges, after she released tapes of the actor threatening her.

District Attorney spokesperson Jane Robinson told E! News: “Sheriff’s officials dropped off last part of the Mel investigation today. It’s under review.”

Being questioned is whether Oksana intentionally tried to gain $15 million in hush money to prevent the recordings from going public.

Soon after signing a custody agreement over their daugther Lucia, < ">Oksana Grigorieva reneged and the recordings appeared a few months later, although she has always denied her involvement.

Discussing the taped phone call -- which sees the actor call her a “selfish b***h” -- < ">Oksana Grigorieva said she began recording when she was scared she would not make it “through the night.”

She said: “I started taping it around 11 o'clock because I thought I'm actually not going to live through the night. I wanted my mother to be able to prove that if I'm dead that this is who did it."

Former Oksana Grigorieva Bodyguard: Team Mel All the Way!

< ">Oksana Grigorieva's ex-bodyguard Kristian Herzog has had some rough things to say about < ">Mel Gibson in the past ... like how Mel wanted him dead.

Now, though, the guy who likely knows the most about < ">Oksana Grigorieva's claims against < ">Mel Gibson says she's exaggerating or downright lying about violence.

Herzog, who served as her bodyguard until recently, and who may or may not have nailed < ">Oksana Grigorieva, says she admitted to him Mel never punched her.

Oksana is a manipulative liar trying to bilk Mel, says Kristian.

Rather, Herzog says < ">Oksana Grigorieva told him < ">Mel Gibson slapped her. That's it. Gibson admits slapping < ">Oksana Grigorieva, claiming he was trying to protect daughter Lucia.

Herzog, who's been subpoenaed by Mel's lawyers in the couple's custody fight, also says she had a motive for secretly recording < ">Mel Gibson rants.

That motive, simply, was "to pressure < ">Mel Gibson to pay her money."



Grigorieva reached a $15 million settlement with < ">Mel Gibson, but then backed out at the last minute. Soon after, the tapes leaked online, one after another.

< ">Oksana Grigorieva, who claims she recorded < ">Mel Gibson because she feared for her life, is being investigated by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department for extortion.

Who knows if Kristian is the least bit reliable, but it's interesting that he's come out against < ">Oksana Grigorieva with such damning claims. Makes you think ...

Broke A$$ Oksana Grigorieva Sends Mel Gibson Mammoth Legal Bill For Good Measure

< ">Oksana Grigorieva is not only feuding with < ">Mel Gibson early, often and nastily, she thinks he should be on the hook for all legal expenses therewith.

To the tune of $163,000 a MONTH.

Mel just got a legal bill from one of Oksana's vast arsenal of lawyers, Alan Shifman of the firm Dewey, Cheatem & Howe. Just kidding. Probably.

RELENTLESS: Oksana cannot be stopped in her pursuit of cash justice.

Shifman claims he racked up a $163,000 fee for work performed from October 15-November 15. Then he was replaced like the 38 before him.

Even at $600 an hour, that means he worked about 272 hours during the month, or nine hours a day, seven days a week. Not sure we buy it.

Oksana's attorneys want Mel to pay more than $1 million in legal fees overall. She's too broke to bribe a witness OR pay lawyers, apparently.
