The California filmmaker who produced the offensive movie against Islam that sparked uproar across the Muslim world may end up behind bars pending the results of an upcoming probation case.

Federal investigators are inquiring as to if Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the man behind the insulting “Innocence of Muslims” movie, violated the terms of his parole by uploading a 14-minute trailer of the film to YouTube, Russia Today news website reported.

As part of the sentencing handed out to him for a 2010 check fraud conviction, Nakoula is barred from using computers or the Internet except with the permission of his probation officer. If Nakoula was not authorized by his supervisor to upload the video, prosecutors could ask a judge to send him back to prison.

Because that earlier conviction didn’t involve any crime specifically relating to filmmaking or YouTube, though, there is likelihood that his probation officer did in fact sign off on allowing Nakoula access to the Web.

Earlier this week, Pakistani Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour offered $100,000 to “anyone who murders” Nakoula
