BOSTON (Reuters) - FBI agents on Wednesday arrested a Saudi prince's wife on charges she forced two Indonesian women to work for her as servants and threatened them with "serious harm" if they refused, prosecutors said.

Hana Al Jader, 39, was arrested on federal charges at her home in the upscale Boston suburb of Winchester, Massachusetts. A U.S. magistrate judge ordered her held without bail pending a hearing on Friday afternoon.

Al Jader was charged in a 10-count indictment with forced labor, domestic servitude, falsifying records, visa fraud and harboring aliens in connection with two Indonesian servants identified only as "Tri" and "Ro."

If convicted on all charges, Al Jader would face up to 140 years in jail and up to $2.5 million in fines.
