Could they have had a connection at whatever entity you used to send the money? How else would they have known your FIL had the funds well before the 10th?

I understand that in many countries, the police and justice system is not capable of handling these types of issues. Either they are corrupt, complicit, or simply ineffective.
Would the US embassy help? Her ILs aren't US citizens.
It should. The parents are being targeted because they are related to a US citizen. That is one of the grounds for asylum (if I remember immigration law correctly).

Also, will you share what country this is?
No, but they may have been watching IL's house closely. ILs do not work, so rarely leave their home except for things like going to the bank to get the money we wire them monthly.
