Morocco’s PM Abdelilah Benkirane has ordered an investigation into the public TV broadcast of a Jennifer Lopez concert in the country.
J. Lo’s performance at the Mawazine festival in Rabat on May 29 was aired on the 2M public TV network.
Abdelilah Benkirane said the airing was “serious delinquency”, adding it contained “disgraceful scenes”.
He added the broadcast was in violation of Morocco’s audiovisual law.
Last week, Morocco’s minister of communication was criticized for allowing the concert to air on public TV, leading to calls for him to resign.
Local media also criticized Jennifer Lopez for her “poses” and for being “scantily” dressed.
Writing to the president of Morocco’s High Authority of Audiovisual Communication, PM Abdelilah Benkirane demanded the authority “take legal measures against those responsible”.
The prime minsiter said the channel had broadcast scenes which were “provocative to the religious and moral values of Moroccan society”.
He said those responsible for the channel and its output “failed to intervene and stop the broadcast of the disgraceful scenes” as the concert was broadcast with a time delay.
J. Lo has performed in Morocco before with no trouble, however it is the first time one of her concerts has been broadcast on television.
An educational group is also suing Jennifer Lopez over the performance, claiming she “disturbed public order and tarnished women’s honor and respect”, TMZ reported.
In the event Jennifer Lopez and her promoter are prosecuted, the sentence could be up to two years in prison.

“Right away when you broke up with Ben Affleck, Marc Anthony was there, like, two days later, and you were in,” said Maria Shriver, referring to J-Lo who broke up with Ben Affleck in January and had married Anthony by June.
“Right, you’re absolutely right,” acknowledged the singer.
Jennifer Lopez added: “It was probably my first big heartbreak, and to have one of my best friends who I’d known for years who I actually love and did have chemistry with come into my life and say, <<I’m here>>. What you need to know is, nobody can save you or heal you. Only you can do that for you.”
Jennifer Lopez admits she is still struggling to deal with the collapse of her marriage to Marc Anthony after two years on Katie Couric show.
J-Lo opened up to Katie Couric on Friday, revealing she found it hard to get out of bed when her relationship broke down.
Despite having moved on since her split – Jennifer Lopez is dating her 25-year-old back up dancer Casper Smart – the 43-year-old said having her two twins, Max and Emme, ask questions about the divorce continues to make it difficult.
“I actually just wrote a song about it and just recorded it funnily enough, because I wanted to explain to them without out explaining it to them. It is a beautiful song.
“But there something inside of me that was struggling with that part of things.”
When asked what she says to her children, Jennifer Lopez said: “I feel like God gives me the words every time because every time they do it I get a rush of panic through my body and I’m like <<Oh my god, what do I say?>>
“Again it is learning process, like with Marc, and I said maybe we should do some things together.”

J-Lo was on the Katie Show to promote her new film Parker in which she plays a newly divorced woman. Filming as she went through her own divorce was cathartic, the singer said.
“It was kind of perfect to be honest, because I was very in touch with all the emotions,” Jennifer Lopez said.
“I play a character who is really literally at the worst point of her life. She’s divorced, she’s pushing forty and her work isn’t doing well and she is living with her mum.
“So she’s at the worst point of her life and at that moment when I was doing the movie, I felt the same way.
“It was the worst time of my life going through the divorce with the kids, so it was kind of a blessing – as these can be sometimes – to be able to use all those emotions and all those feelings and put them somewhere.
“As when you have kids and you have to get up every day – and it’s hard to get up when you feel that bad – and you have to hide it all day at work and hide in front of the kids, so to be able to use it in the scenes and really look how I felt was great.”
J-Lo, who was joined by her co-star Jason Statham, also revealed that she was terrified to do a scene where she had to strip down in front of Jason’s character Parker.
“It’s nerve racking you know it’s coming, it’s nerve racking and you just have to suck it up,” Jennifer Lopez said.
In order to look her best, J-Lo starved herself for “a few days” before the scene but had a bag of McDonald’s waiting for her.
“I saw you running down the stairs with a bag and I was like <<What’s in the bag?>> and you’re like <<Go away, go away>>,” Jason Statham said, realizing what his co-star was up to.
Despite talking about how hard she has found it since getting divorced, J-Lo did reveal that her boyfriend Casper Smart and her have taken the next step in their relationship – buying a dog together.
Jennifer Lopez stepped out at a promotional screening of her new film Parker showing off her famous behind in an eye popping Kaufman Franco gown.
The floor length white dress featured a number of strategically placed slits which showed J-Lo had forgone underwear for her night out in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Although the Kaufman Franco designed dress was high cut at the neck, it featured clear mesh detail, giving the gown a backless look along with sexy splits either side.
J-Lo is no stranger to revealing gowns and is particularly famous for the striking Versace green and blue number she wore to the Grammy Awards back in 2000.

But on Thursday, Jennifer Lopez even managed to outshine reality star Coco austin who unusually covered up her famous cleavage in a high necked blue psychedelic mini dress and red heels.
Coco Austin, who was without husband Ice-T, wore her blonde hair in a long haired tousled style as she stepped out on the red carpet.
