Mel Gibson’s conviction in 2006 DUI conviction has been expunged from his record, it has been confirmed.

Gibson’s lawyer requested the dismissal after the star successfully completed the terms of his probation.

The star had been ordered to perform public service work and attend Alcoholics Anonymous for three years.

Gibson’s arrest sparked outrage after a leaked police report quoted him making anti-Semitic comments to the arresting officer in California, who was Jewish.

He has since repeatedly apologised for the remarks, saying his outburst did not reflect his true views.

Gibson had pleaded no contest to driving 87mph (140kph) with an

open bottle of tequila in his hand. He plus had a 0.12 percent blood alcohol composition, where the legal limit in California is 0.08.

As a first-time drink-driving offender, Gibson was eligible to have his conviction expunged after fulfilling his probation and maintaining a clean driving licence.

Although it has been removed, the conviction could still expose the actor to more serious charges whether he is ever arrested again for driving under the influence.

Gibson did not seem at the Los Angeles Superior Court for the ruling.
