NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Rosen Law Firm announced that on January 28, 2013, China Central Television ("CCTV"), the predominant state-owned television network in the PRC, produced two news segments corroborating GeoInvesting's report that Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (NYSE:LPH) has been misrepresenting its true financial and business condition.

CCTV confirmed that Longwei's facilities have long been idle, and that its largest subsidiary reported revenue to Chinese tax authorities that is only a tiny fraction of the revenue Longwei reported to the SEC. The CCTV segments are available at: http://news.cntv.cn/2013/01/28/VIDE1359383612262518.shtml, and http://news.cntv.cn/2013/01/28/VIDE1359383582111295.shtml.

The Rosen Law Firm filed the first class action lawsuit against Longwei to recover investors' losses.
