WASHINGTON, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Alan Gross, freed from imprisonment in Cuba last week, will receive a $3.2 million settlement from a U.S. government agency.
Gross, 65, was arrested in 2009 and accused of subversion for providing communications equipment to Cuba's Jewish population. He was working for a company contracted to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The U.S. government maintained he was helping Cubans access the Internet in a democracy-building effort.
