Jordanian King Abdullah's half-brother and former Crown Prince Hamza bin Hussein was told to halt actions used to target the country's "security and stability", the military said on Saturday.
In a statement published on the state news agency, it said this was part of a broader, ongoing security investigation in which a former minister, a member of the royal family and unnamed others were detained.
"What has been published about allegations about the arrest of his highness Prince Hamza is not true but he was told to stop activities that are being exploited to target Jordan's security and stability," said Jordanian army chief Yusef Huneity.
