 We know that a  person under Veritaserum cannot lie, and we also 
know that a person under the Imperius curse is controlled by the 
person who cursed them.  If I'm not mistaken, however, we do not 
know how these two  interract with one another.  Thus, *perhaps*

mhbobbin:

When Crouch!Moody is at Hogwarts, isn't he acting under his own 
power not under the Imperius Curse? He wears out the Imperius Curse 
that Crouch Senior had placed him under--by the time of the World 
Cup--and when LV shows up, Crouch Senior is put under the Imperius 
Curse. But no longer Crouch Junior.

Although Cory raises an interesting point about whether Veritaserum 
or Imperius Curse would win the battle of mind-control, I don't 
think we have an example of that here. Unless, of course, I'm being 
thick about something here, which is possible.
