Laauli was accused of forgery, theft, and the unlawful hiring of company trucks to the Samoa Vailima Brewery company.
Other defendants - his wife, a director, and an employee of the Local Partners and Associates nonu juice company - were also found not guilty.
But one of the company's directors, a high profile journalist and media practitioner, Apulu Lance Polu, was found guilty of one count of forgery.
Apulu is set to appear again next month for a probation report and sentence.
