    DISGRACED former Volkswagen (VW) boss Martin Winterkorn faced a grilling by German lawmakers on Thursday, as accusations grow of top executives at the beleaguered auto giant colluding to cover up emissions cheating.

    The former chief executive's testimony will be "particularly important" in the light of the latest allegations against the VW group, said Herbert Behrens, who heads a special parliamentary committee investigating the "dieselgate" scandal.
