Amman's Attorney General Hassan Abdallat issued on Tuesday an order prohibiting the publication of any materials related to the high-profile security breach case featuring Hamzah bin Al-Hussein, a former crown prince of Jordan, to protect information deemed confidential, official Petra news agency reported.

The order, which includes a ban on audio and video materials and content circulating on social network platforms, will be in effect until further notice, Abdallat said, adding that the publication of any images or video clips on the issue is a criminal offense.

On Saturday, national media reported that several senior officials were arrested in a security breach case. Following the developments, Prince Hamzah, half-brother of the current King Abdullah II, said in a video message that he was placed under house arrest and cut off from communication.

The following day, the Jordanian foreign minister announced that the investigation revealed that Hamzah and two other officials had contacts with foreign intelligence agencies to destabilize the country.
