MOVE over, Mafia Cops! More than 100 of New York's Fin est were investigated last year for allegedly associating with criminals - from boozing with mobsters to pulling off robberies with gang members to even carrying on affairs with lowlife drug dealers, The Post has learned.The figure represents about half of the serious Internal Affairs corruption investigations, according to sources.
"It is one of the big problems the Police Department faces," said a source familiar with the NYPD's hard-charging efforts to root out wrongdoers.
In one astounding case, transit cop Yaniris Balbuena, 31, was charged this month with laundering $250,000 for her heroin-trafficking common-law husband - even making money pickups on Bronx street corners for his far-flung operations, which reached into the Dominican Republic, federal documents show.
