It's been voted down; not going to happen (at least, with the current proposal).
My guess is that the politicians were trying to figure out "can we get away with this?". Now they know how much opposition they'd get, so they'll try something "half way" there, and will probably succeed.
Interesting that supposedly many of the large bank accounts were owned by Russian mobsters... I wonder how many politicians just realized that they would be on the hit list if they supported this proposal.
