When any person has engaged in, is engaged in, or is attempting or conspiring to engage in any conduct constituting a violation of any of the provisions of Section 1403 of the Oklahoma Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the Attorney General or district attorney may conduct an investigation of the conduct. On approval of the district judge, the Attorney General or district attorney in accordance with the provisions of Section 258 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes is authorized before the commencement of any civil or criminal proceeding pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to subpoena witnesses, compel their attendance, examine them under oath, or require the production of any business papers or records by subpoena duces tecum, except that such evidence taken shall not be receivable in any civil proceeding. B. Any business papers and records subpoenaed by the Attorney General or district attorney shall be available for examination by the person who produced the material or by any duly authorized representative of the person. Transcripts of oral testimony shall be available for examination by the person who produced such testimony, or counsel of the person. Except as otherwise provided for in this section, no business papers or records or transcripts or oral testimony, or copies of it, subpoenaed by the Attorney General or district attorney shall be available for examination by an individual other than another law enforcement official without the consent of the person who produced the business papers or records or transcript. C. All persons served with a subpoena by the Attorney General or district attorney pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act shall be paid the same fees and mileage as paid witnesses in the courts of this state. D. No person shall, with intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance in whole or in part by any person with any duly served subpoena of the Attorney General or district attorney pursuant to the provisions of this section, knowingly remove from any place, conceal, withhold, destroy, mutilate, alter, or by any other means falsify any business papers or records that are the subject of the subpoena ducus tecum. A violation of the provisions of this subsection, upon conviction, is a misdemeanor.
