The trial of US aid worker Alan Gross for crimes against the state in Cuba has ended, with the verdict yet to be formally announced.

There was earlier confusion over the wording that concluded the trial, with suggestions Mr Gross was convicted.

The US diplomatic mission on the island confirmed no verdict had been declared.

Mr Gross, 61, was arrested in December 2009 accused of setting up illegal internet connections in Cuba under a programme funded by the US government.

Prosecutors have been seeking a 20-year jail term.
