Get a lawyer pronto. Your wife can most likely be sued; is she or her 
family acting as your guarantor or something like that?

My father in law had the misfortune to run into the rear end of a Yakuza 
guy's car. Nearly went bankrupt because of it. Seems a fender bender 
sent the guy to the hospital for over a month. Get a lawyer, and tell 
the people to only contact the lawyer from now on. If they keep calling 
endlessly after that, tell them you'll call the police and follow through.
