Romanians were contracted to help the army fight the Rwanda -backed M23 rebels.
They surrendered following a rebel assault on the eastern city of Goma on Sunday night .
BBC has seen contracts that show that these hired soldiers were being paid around $5,000 ( 4,000 ) a month, while regular military recruits get around $100 .
Asociatia RALF was hands-on during the mission until a few months ago when he returned to Romania .
He has since been embroiled in a controversy amid the annulled presidential election there.
He was dramatically arrested in December and has since denied providing security for the pro-Russian , far-right candidate Clin Georgescu .
"Poor command leads to failure," says ex-mercenary.
"It creates a situation where it's impossible to plan military offences where chain of command and responsibility is muddied," he says.
"I think that it's important to work towards far greater coherence in the armed effort in North Kivu ," he adds.
