Pranë kësaj shoqërie ka punuar deri në fund të vitit 2021. Ai deklaron se nuk ka pasur ndonjë zyrë te kjo shoqëri, pasi për punën që bënte përfaqësuesit e shoqërisë ia dërgonin nëpërmjet email-it detyra dhe projektet që duhet të punonte dhe pasi ai i përfundonte detyrat, i dërgonte nëpërmjet email-it si dhe në rastet e nevojshme ka shkuar vetë në zyrat e shoqërisë.

Bezhani deklaron se pranë shoqërisë ‘Integrated Technology Services’ Sh.p.k është marrë me këshillimin e publikuar për të sqaruar mbi ndikimin në mjedis që do të kishte teknologjinë e përdorur nga kjo shoqëri në mjedis. Ai deklaron se tek inceneratori i Tiranës ka dhënë informacion në lidhje me sasinë e mbetjeve të qarkut , strukturën e mbetjeve të qarkut që do të trajtohej në këto impiante si dhe për projektin e landifillit të cilin e krahasonte me standardet që ishin vendosur nga Këshilli i Ministrave dhe standardet europiane.

Ai deklaron se këto informacion i kishte nga studime të mëparshme si JICA, studime të Bankës Botërore, studime nga KFË gjermane, informacione të cilat i ka aksesuar, nëpërmjet internetit, si dhe nga puna e mëparshme në Ministrinë e Mjedisit, ku kishte pasur si detyrë ndjekjen e këtyre projekteve.

Ai deklaron se teknologjia për incenerimin e mbetjeve në Inceneratorin e Tiranës, referuar projektit, ishte shumë e avancuar, por që nuk është realizuar deri më sot. Po ashti ai deklaron se në projektin e inceneratorit të Tiranës ka pasur një linjë riciklimi automatike që kushtonte rreth tre milionë euro, e cila nuk është vendosur, por në vend të kësaj linje është vendosur një linjë seleksionimi e zakonshme, që kushtonte më pak dhe që kërkonte seleksionimin manual, linjë e cila herë vendosej në punë dhe herë jo.

Ai deklaron se ka qenë këshilltar i jashtëm i ish-ministrit të Mjedisit, Lefter Koka, për periudhën nga momenti që ka dalë në pension, në vitin 2014, deri në momentin që Koka është larguar nga detyra e ministrit.

Ai deklaron se duke qenë se për shkak të formimit të tij, ishte e nevojshme konsulenca për Ministrinë e Mjedisit, ish-sekretari i Përgjithshëm i Mjedisit, Alqi Bllako, i ka sugjeruar që të ishte Këshilltar i jashtëm, por duke qenë se nuk do të paguhej nga Ministria e Mjedisit, Bllako i ka thënë që për të marrë pagën, do ta punësonte atë te shoqëria e Klodian Zotos.

Bezhani declares that from 2014 to 2017 he did not have a work contract, while later, after the procedure of awarding the incinerator was completed, he signed a formal work contract with Zoto's company. He declares that during the time he worked as an external advisor of the Environment, he used the official email address of the Ministry of the Environment, which he used from 2011 until 2017. Among other things, he claims that only he had access to this address.

Asked about the communications he had with Zoto, providing him with documents and information that served as data that were used for the drafting of the feasibility study, by Zoto's proposing company, he states that he provided these documents from his job at the Ministry of Environment and made it available to Zoto, since during the time he was working as an external advisor to the Ministry, he was also employed in the company of the businessman.

Specifically asked about the electronic communication with the citizen Klodian Zoto, dated 28.06.2016, Bezhani declares that the email and the letter related to the return of the positive answer, in the direction of the businessman, regarding the unsolicited proposal received from the Ministry of Environment from the proposing company, he conceived it, after informing Koka and Bllakon that they had to give a positive answer to Zoto.

He declares that he conceived this letter, but since he did not have the right to sign, this letter was signed by his ex-addict Ledjana Karalliu and then it was signed according to the hierarchy.

Asked about the resulting communications with Zoto, regarding the amounts of funds deposited in the Sharra landfill during 2015, he states that he sent this data to the businessman, as he needed it to draw up a feasibility study and clarifies that Zoto had no opportunity to design such a study.

The study for Zoto was drawn up by another Italian company, whose name he does not remember while adding that the businessman presented this study at a different time to the Ministry of Environment and not in the mock-up when the letter of interest was submitted for the unsolicited proposal.
