The witness is relevant in both the criminal and family law probes, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.
A source with knowledge of the situation tells Breaking Celebrity News that one of Mel’s lawyers will be meeting with Deputy District Attorney John Lynch to present evidence of the alleged bribe.
“Mel claims there was a financial incentive with the witness,” the source said.

Oksana has accused Mel of beating her and cracking the veneer on her upper front teeth. As Breaking Celebrity News was first to report – and show – photographs taken hours after the incident show significant damage to Oksana’s mouth. Her dentist has also said that she suffered injuries.
