BRASILIA/SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Iron ore miner Vale SA's chief financial officer and its former chief executive should be indicted for manslaughter, a Brazilian Senate committee probing a deadly dam collapse recommended on Tuesday.

The committee is also seeking the indictment of Vale itself as a company, as well as dam stability auditor TـV SـD, for environmental damages and corporate responsibility for actions of their employees in the late-January disaster that killed nearly 250 people.
