9/11
After 9/11, Rudi Dekkers, by some reports a friend of Mohammad Atta who spent a lot of time with him,[1] described him in vague and distant terms, as merely another pupil of his flight school. "My personal feeling was Atta was an asshole first class".[2]
Guilty By Association
Dekkers told his version of events in a book, Guilty By Association - The Untold Story of Rudi Dekkers which describes "the authentic journey Rudi unwittingly took with September 11 hijackers, Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi before they embarked on their fateful mission".[3]
Drug trafficking
On 4th December, 2012, Rudi Dekkers was arrested in the parking lot of a flight school in Houston in early December carrying a suitcase stuffed with two pounds of heroin and more than 80 lbs of cocaine. He was charged on 4 counts, together with Rogelio Martinez-Flores. On February 7, 2013 the judge issued an "Order on a Sealed Motion."[4] The case was still in process as of December 31, 2013.[5]
Dekkers is quoted by Daniel Hopsicker as telling an undercover agent "“I’ve been a drug pilot for years. Drugs. Money. No problem. What do you need?".[4] The agent summarises this in his affidavit, that Dekkers admitted that he was "involved in narcotics transportation using private aircraft and that he has flown narcotics and currency previously without any problem."[6]
