There is evidence that has been found, including a number of foreign currencies and Indonesian rupiah notes estimated to be worth billions, 12 firearms, documents and electronic evidence believed to be closely related to the criminal activities committed. However, during the search, Syahrul was on a working visit to Rome, Italy. His return to Indonesia is eagerly awaited to further investigate the case. But, the latest news is that Syahrul has been declared missing, his whereabouts unknown.

According to Harvick, the last communication with the Minister of Agriculture was before Syahrul left for Spain to continue his work visit from Rome, Italy. After that, Harvick completely lost contact with Syahrul and still does not know his whereabouts. "The last time was when he left, right? But if the level 1 officials who went with him, they were still together until they arrived in Spain. Approximately 1 week (no communication)," said Harvick quoted from Liputan6.com, Wednesday, October 4, 2023.

He explained that Syahrul conducted a working visit to Italy and Spain together with several officials and staff in the Ministry of Agriculture since the end of September 2023. However, according to Harvick, those officials and staff returned to Indonesia earlier. "Returning to their homeland is indeed because maybe the tickets are also limited. Finally, they are separated (from the Minister of Agriculture)," he said.

"No, (Jokowi asked) it's still unclear from a legal standpoint and so on, there's still nothing. There's no follow-up yet, waiting for instructions from Mr. President," said Harvick. Following the unknown whereabouts of the Minister of Agriculture, Jokowi has appointed Deputy Minister Harvick as the interim or temporary minister."

Along with the news of the disappearance of Minister of Agriculture Syahrul, the NasDem Party ensures that the Minister did not disappear in Europe. The General Treasurer of the NasDem Party, Ahmad Sahroni, said that Minister Syahrul was late in returning to Indonesia because he was undergoing medical treatment. According to Sahroni, Minister SYL is experiencing prostate problems. "His health is disturbed due to problems with his prostate," said Sahroni.
