Cops investigating Mel Gibson for domestic violence have subpoenaed the shocking audio tapes that contain the actor's threats against Oksana Grigorieva and his admission that he hit her, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.
Breaking Celebrity News has released some of the audio, revealing a vile, racist rant by Mel and also death threats against Oksana, the mother of his eight-month-old daughter Lucia.
Now we've learned that Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department investigators have subpoenaed a DVD that Oksana filed with the court and is under seal. That DVD contains the audio recordings.
But Breaking Celebrity News has also learned that the cops already have the recordings because Oksana turned them over to investigators. She made a formal complaint against Mel on July 5.
A source familiar with the investigation into Mel told Breaking Celebrity News: "LASD investigators formally subpoenaed the DVD as part of their ongoing criminal investigation involving Mel Gibson. The DVD is currently under seal in the ongoing custody case which has been assigned to Judge Scott Gordon.
