The editorial offices of a daily newspaper aren't exactly pickings for the Mafia, but the same can't necessarily be said of the people who operate the print shops and the delivery trucks. Early this afternoon, a spokesman for the New York City Police Department announced that officers raided the circulation plants of four of the city's largest daily papers. It's part of an investigation into corruption at the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers, a Teamsters-affiliated union that packages and delivers newspapers throughout the New York City region. Affected are circulation offices for the New York Times (Queens), the New York Daily News (Manhattan), the New York Post and El Diario (Brooklyn). It's not the first time this union has been the subject of a mob probe.
