Meanwhile Saudi Arabia's attorney General Saud al-Mojeb said that everybody come under the law and even the royal family must adhere the law of the land.
Attorney general also said that the princes were also demanded compensation for the death sentence issued against one of their cousins who was convicted of murder, in 2016.
Arab giant Saudi Arabia has been adopting a slew of measures after crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, son of Saudi's king Salman, dethroned his cousin to ascend to the top post in the administration.
Prince Mohammed maintained his supreme authority soon after he took his job and announced key policies to diversify the country's economy as it traditionally depends oil to generate revenue. They had recently introduced new regime of tax system, especially Value Added Tax (VAT), for the first time in the gulf region, to make earnings from different sources.
