Oksana Grigorieva to Face Extortion Charges?

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."
