Motassim Bilal Gaddafi, also known as Hannibal Gaddafi, was arrested at the five-star Hotel President Wilson on Tuesday after two of his servants accused him of hitting them, his lawyer Robert Assaël told the Swiss News Agency on Thursday.
Geneva magistrate Michel-Alexandre Graber has charged Gaddafi, 32, with inflicting physical injuries, and using threats and force against the two, a Tunisian and a Moroccan, who lodged a formal complaint on Saturday.
The same charges have also been brought against Gaddafi's nine-month pregnant wife, who had to be hospitalised during police questioning.
The servants have a medical certificate which proves their injuries, but the couple denies having inflicted them, Assaël said.
Two of Gaddafi's bodyguards were also taken in by police for resisting arrest on Tuesday.
A hearing involving the different parties took place at the Palais de Justice courthouse at midday on Thursday.
Gaddafi and his wife travelled to Geneva on July 5 for the birth of their child.
The Swiss foreign ministry has refused to comment on the matter.
