According to Cuban-American lawyer Jose Pertierra:
Under George Bush, "the budget for fomenting an opposition in Cuban society allied to the interests of Miama (where most Cuban expats live) and the White House increased astronomically, from $3.5 million in 2000 to $45 million in 2008." Gross apparently benefitted handsomely until arrested.
Cuban authorities also believe that internal opposition exists largely because of US financial and logistical support. Whether or not so, for sure they've regularly gotten it for decades. Moreover, Cuba accuses USAID of waging internal cyberwar, instigating disruptive instability.
On December 10, Parliamentary President Ricardo Alarcon said, Gross "violated Cuban laws and national sovereignty and has committed crimes which in the United States can carry heavy sentences." Indeed so as a previous article explained, saying:
All countries have laws against espionage and subversion; that is, for covertly obtaining secret information without authorization or conducting destabilizing activities, especially related to national defense or security.

Covering a detailed list of offenses, it says anyone found guilty under this title shall be fined and/or imprisoned for up to 10 years or longer, in some cases for life, depending on the crime's severity.
