Iranian pro-reform cleric Mehdi Karroubi may be prosecuted over allegations he made following post-election unrest, state media says.
Mr Karroubi had said that some of his supporters, detained after protests over the presidential poll in which he was a candidate, suffered abuse.
The case will go to a clerical court, state news agency Irna reported.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner but his challengers said the election was rigged.
Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari-Dolatabadi said that as Mr Karroubi was a cleric "his remarks should be studied at the special court for the clergy".
"But the report of the judiciary panel has been given to us and we are investigating it," he said.
"Some people have also been summoned in connection with the case."
