According to the ICC, the four charges against Samuels relate to his participation in 2019 Abu Dhabi-based T10 league.
The West Indies' 40-year-old winner of the Twenty20 World Cup twice was also named the top scorer in both finals.
The Emirates Cricket Board has given him 14 days to reply to the charges.

Samuels is also accused in failing to disclose hospitality valued over $750.
The remaining charges include failure to cooperate and obstruction of or delay in the investigation.
Samuels was a member of the West Indies Cricket team that played 71 Test matches and 274 limited-overs internationals before he retired from cricket in November 2020.
Samuels' controversial career saw him being suspended three times from bowling by the ICC. His first offense in 2008 earned him a two year ban.
