FlightRadar24 reports,

Media reports indicate that OE-FGR was not reachable by air traffic control authorities for some time. Just a few moments ago, we stopped receiving signals from the aircraft. Final altitude received was 2100 ft at -8000 fpm descent.

---
Initial data suggests it's a spiraling nose-dive. Official reports are yet to receive but the chances of surviving after such a decent (8000 feet per minute) is highly unlikely. Swedish authorities are on search mission. The aircraft in question is a Cessna 551, otherwise known as Cessna Citation II owned by a private owner (a business jet).
