Comedian crashes VW show, pretends to fit 'defeat device'

Comedian Simon Brodkin, who goes under the stage name Lee Nelson, has been caught on camera crashing Volkswagen's opening presentation at the Geneva Motor Show – dressed up as a vehicle technician pretending to fit a 'defeat device' to the underneath of one of the display cars.

Pretending to fix the car, Brodkin told security guards: "Mr Mueller (VW chief executive Matthias Mueller) said it's okay as long as no one finds out about it."
