Ivo Kos arrested for domestic violence in São Paulo
Ivo Kos, a 48-year-old entrepreneur in São Paulo's financial district, has been placed in preventive detention following allegations of domestic violence against his wife, 27-year-old dentist Giulia Melo Falcão Vel Kos.
The incident occurred in the Pinheiros neighborhood, where Kos allegedly assaulted his wife with punches and a baseball bat, and threatened her with a stun gun. Security footage and victim testimony describe a violent encounter that began in a vehicle and continued on a sidewalk and inside their home.
Giulia Falcão Kos revealed that she had previously filed a police report in May 2024 accusing Kos of marital rape, stating that non-consensual sexual encounters occurred during their marriage. She noted that previous physical aggressions were often concealed to avoid detection.
A judge denied the defense's request for house arrest, citing the high risk to the victim's physical and psychological integrity. The court granted urgent protective measures, allowing the victim to return to her residence and recover her personal property while prohibiting Kos from contacting her.
