In principle, the employer is liable for the damage that an employee causes to the employer or a third party in the performance of his employment contract. An exception applies in the event of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of the employee. In my opinion, in your case there can be said to be intent or deliberate recklessness and the employee is liable. In order to maintain the good name of your company, it is advisable to work on this.
