Abdelilah Benkirane, the Prime Minister of Morocco, has launched a governmental investigation into the broadcast of a Jennifer Lopez concert on national television last week, claiming that the “sexually suggestive” performance violated the kingdom’s laws on broadcasting.

It emerged last week that Lopez’s performance on May 29th as part of the Mawazine Festival in Rabat, which was aired on the country’s 2M public TV network, had outraged a Moroccan education group to the point that they were filing a lawsuit. Well, the same broadcast has now prompted the country’s second highest political authority to intervene, accusing the promoter of “serious delinquency”.

Benkirane wrote to the president of Morocco’s High Authority of Audiovisual Communication and described Lopez’s performance as containing “sexual overtones… …which were indecent and provocative to the religious and moral values of Moroccan society,” insisting that the organisation “take legal measures against those responsible” for failing “to intervene and stop the broadcast of the disgraceful scenes.”

Throughout last week, public pressure was growing on the Moroccan minister of communication to resign in the aftermath of the broadcast, with local media outlets slamming Lopez and the broadcasters for her “suggestive poses” and being “scantily” dressed.

TMZ reported last week that the concert had “disturbed public order and tarnished women's honour and respect,” and that a lawsuit had been issued against her and the concert’s promoter. In the (admittedly unbelievably unlikely) event that Lopez, 45, is found guilty of the infringements, she could spend anywhere between one month and two years in prison. No official word from Lopez’s camp has yet emerged.

Lopez was wearing stiletto boots, fishnet stockings bedecked in jewels, and an all-over bodysuit for the raunchy performance. She was hardly going to stand still, was she?
