The officials said General Mohammad Al-Dahabi, who ran the powerful intelligence services from 2005 to 2009, was charged on the basis of information received from the central bank’s anti-money laundering unit.
The prosecutor ordered Dahabi to be arrested and held for 14 days while an investigation is carried out, they said.
Dahabi’s arrest is the latest step in an anti-graft campaign that has widened in recent months to include the indictment of several leading businessmen and a former mayor of Amman.
The campaign is seen as a response to demonstrations calling for greater political freedom and an end to corruption.
