They ask him if he owns any casinos in Las Vegas and he says that he owns some stock in a few of the hotels "but very little." Is this not a lie?
NOTE: I know that he lies under oath a few times in that scene, but this particular statement seems easily disprovable (if it's a lie).

In the book, Michael's ownership is through many ghost owners. Their names are on the books but they do not truly own shares and would not dare take advantage of the legal fiction. One of them was Lucy Mancini, the bridesmaid Sonny was schtupping during the wedding reception. She is the mother of the new Don in Godfather 3.

Do they ever say anything about that in the movies though? I was always under the impression that he more or less "owned" Las Vegas in Part II. |

No mention that I recall.
In the same testimony Michael says he served in WW2 and earned the Navy Cross. In The Godfather, however, he wears a Silver Star on his uniform, not a Navy Cross. Not a case of lying, a case of imperfect continuity.
