Purported anti-Muslim film producer ordered jailed in probation case By NBC News staff and NBCLosAngeles.com Updated at 10:19 p.m. ET: LOS ANGELES -- Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the Southern California man who many believe to be behind an anti-Muslim video that has inflamed the Islamic world, was arrested Thursday afternoon, the U.S. Attorney's office in Los Angeles told NBC Los Angeles. At an afternoon court hearing, the judge ordered Nakoula to remain in custody for violating the terms of his probation, NBC News reported. "The court has a lack of trust in the defendant at this time," Chief Magistrate Judge Suzanne Segal said in making the ruling, citing a pattern of deception and the possibility Nakoula was a flight risk. Court records show that Nakoula was convicted on federal fraud charges in Los Angeles in 2010. Among the conditions of his probation, Nakoula was barred from using "any online service at any location" without the prior approval of his probation officer, according to a copy of court records in the case. A 14-minute trailer for the film "Innocence of Muslims" was posted on YouTube in July, leading to protests around the Middle East. The trailer depicts Muhammad as a womanizer, religious fraud and child molester. Violence broke out Sept. 11 and has spread since, killing dozens, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi, Libya. Nakoula, a Christian originally from Egypt, went into hiding after he was identified as the man behind the trailer, the Associated Press reported. Earlier this month, federal law enforcement officials opened an investigation into whether Nakoula violated his probation on those fraud charges in his efforts to promote the movie, an official told NBC News. The official emphasized that the probe of Nakoula relates only to whether he violated his probation order - not into the content of the inflammatory movie. "This is not an investigation of the film," the official said, or in any way intended to infringe on his "First Amendment rights." On Wednesday, Libyan President Mohammed Magarief told NBC News' Ann Curry that the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Libya there were carefully planned terrorist events, not the actions of a mob angry about the video.
