- Filmmaker was "very cooperative," authorities say
- Nakoula Basseley Nakoula leaves sheriff's office after interview with probation officer
- Nakoula served a year in federal prison for bank fraud
- A review of his federal probation is ongoing
Los Angeles (CNN) -- The California man believed to be the maker of an anti-Islam film that ignited a firestorm in the Muslim world was cooperative when authorities escorted him to a voluntary interview, officials said Saturday.
"It was all choreographed," said Steve Whitmore of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. "He was ready and willing and very cooperative."
The overnight meeting with a probation officer came a day after federal officials said they were reviewing the probation of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who was convicted of bank fraud in 2010 and placed on supervised probation for five years.
Federal officials consider Nakoula to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Islam "Innocence of Muslims."
