Then the Aussies use 'reckless indifference' in your context... again, unsure how this is used in Eur or UK, see

intentional disregard


Explanation:
"intentional disregard" is my suggestion.

Actually "intentional disregard for the consequences" is a better way to state it.

See generally:
Likgiltighetsuppsåt: Om gärningsmannen har misstanke om följden med sitt handlande, men likväl genomfört handlingen, likgiltig inför följden föreligger likgiltighetsuppsåt. Likgiltighetsuppsåtet har ersatt indirekt och eventuellt uppsåt. Likgiltighetsuppsåtet är uppsåtets undre gräns.
