The European Parliament has moved to lift the immunity of Sergey Stanishev, a former Bulgarian PM and current leader of the Party of European Socialists (PES).
Stanishev earlier reported that he had requested the European Parliament to take the step in a fast-track procedure.
The former PM is facing charges at home, but could not be indicted due to his immunity as a lawmaker.
Bulgaria's Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov earlier demanded that Stanishev's immunity be revoked so that the former Prime Minister can face a trial on lost secret files that has been pending for a few years. The case misfired for a third time in a row in September of 2014 since Stanishev had already become MEP at the time.
Stanishev made clear on Wednesday he wanted to have his reputation cleared of the scandal.
