The former crown prince of Jordan is accused of trying to mobilise tribal leaders against the government, the country's deputy prime minister says.
Prince Hamzah bin Hussein worked with "foreign entities" to destabilise the state, Ayman Safadi said.
The prince had earlier released two videos to the BBC, claiming he was being held under house arrest.
He denied conspiracy, but accused Jordan's leaders of corruption and incompetence.
Sixteen people, including a former adviser to King Abdullah and another member of the royal family, were arrested on Saturday for allegedly threatening security.
In his videos, Prince Hamzah, the king's half-brother, said he had been told he could not go out or communicate with people.
