They allege that the Geneva-based bank refused them access to the account of Khalifa bin Ali bin Abdullah al-Thani, the late billionaire brother of Qatar's last emir.

The Geneva public prosecutor confirmed to the paper that his sons are suing for the restitution of the $2.6 billion.

The paper quoted a source as saying that the dispute went back some 30 years, while the bank declined to comment.
